Disclosed is a modularly expandable switch-based planar apparatus for inserting multiple bus-based processor cards and/or expansion cards and interconnecting the said cards via a multi-stage switch network which resides on the invention planar. The switching network is built into the planar. The cards require no modification or change of any kind, since the connection to the planar is made as if the planar contained the standard MicroChannel interconnection. However, the disclosed planar implements bus converter units to convert the standard bus interface provided by the cards to the switch network interface, so that functions provided by the cards can communicate in parallel over the switch network.

L'invention est un dispositif planar modulaire extensible à base de commutateurs utilisé pour l'insertion d'une multiplicité de cartes de traitement à bus et/ou de cartes d'expansion et l'interconnexion de ces cartes par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau de commutation multi-étage résidant sur lui. Ce réseau de commutation est intégré au dispositif planar de l'invention. Les cartes ne nécessitent aucune modification d'aucune sorte car la connexion au dispositif planar est établie comme si celui-ci contenait l'interconnexion MicroChannel standard. Le dispositif planar est toutefois doté de convertisseurs de bus qui sont utilisés pour convertir l'interface de bus fournie par les cartes à l'interface du réseau de commutation, de sorte que les fonctions offertes par les cartes peuvent communiquer en parallèle sur le réseau de commutation.
