Abstract
A system is described for arraying multi-device processing nodes in a 3-dimensional computing architecture and for flexibly connecting their ports. The topology of each processing node is of a fixed and constant physical geometry. The nodes may comprise a digital signal processor chip, a static RAM, and a communications and network controller. The nodes are mounted on boards. Selective connection of ports of each board to ports of another adjacent board is effected by a routing and spacer element having internal routing paths.
