Abstract
Communication and computer interconnecting systems using Universal Direct Spherics (Unidispherics) philosophy makes it possible to transmit and store data in an efficient and rapid manner. The system architecture embodies a plurality of communication sites (nodes) which interact with each other by a symmetrical arrangement of great circles on a sphere or their equivalent. Each intersection of two great circles can be a node for linking processors, bulk memories, and in/out units (IND). In addition to the insertion of two great circles on a sphere, there are five other links, four along each of the great circles connected to the nodes at the adjacent great circle intersections and one cross-link to the node diametrically opposite on the sphere.
