Abstract
A system includes a plurality of processors, each being coupled to each of remaining processors via a cluster of processor interconnects. The cluster of processor interconnects form a data distribution network. The system further includes a plurality of roots coupled to the processors, each root corresponding to one of the processors. Each root comprises a memory controller, one or more branches coupled to the memory controller, and a plurality of memory leaves coupled to the branches, each memory leaf having one or more solid state memory devices. Each of the branches is associated with one or more of the memory leaves and provides access to the associated memory leaves. Each of the processors can access any one of the memory leaves via a corresponding branch of any one of the roots over the data distribution network.
