<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable interconnection between nodes of higher performance even if nodes so designed that the number of nodes making up a multiprocessor system matches the maximum number of nodes are used in a multiprocessor system having nodes in a number smaller than the maximum number. <P>SOLUTION: Each of the nodes making up a multiprocessor comprises a plurality of ports 301 to 303 for interconnection with other nodes, a configuration unit 500, a transaction sending unit 504, and a transaction receiving unit 505. A CU 500 directs a TXU 504 and an RXU 505 to define a plurality of kinds of transaction, classify bits for use in the ports according to the kinds of transaction, changes the destinations of the ports, and varies bit width for use in each of the kinds of transaction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
