<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hardware switch that forms processing paths between processing elements optimal for an application, and to provide a distributed processing system. <P>SOLUTION: There is provided a hardware switch to which a plurality of processing elements are connected.For sending side processing elements and receiving side processing elements different from the sending side processing elements selected from among the plurality of processing elements, the hardware switch interconnects one output selected from outputs of the sending side processing elements and one input selected from inputs of the receiving side processing elements, thereby selectively switching paths between the plurality of processing elements, At least one of the outputs of the sending side processing element and the inputs of the receiving side processing elements are multiple connected. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
