  • Partition formation using microprocessors in a multiprocessor computer system
    Patent number: 6973517
    Abstract: The invention is a control system using microprocessors which communicate through a Local Area Network (private LAN) to control operation of both processors and input and output subsystems (IO system) of a multiprocessor computer system. The processors each have memory associated therewith, and each processor has an IO system comprising a plurality of busses such as PCI busses, associated therewith. The processors are cabled together in a mesh arrangement so that messages can be transferred between any of the processors and delivered to memory associated with the destination processor, or delivered to an IO system associated with the destination processor, etc.
