A multi-grained high-performance rotorswitch scaling to high capacities is disclosed. In one embodiment, the rotorswitch comprises common-memory switch modules each of which cyclically accessing each other switch module for an access interval of a predefined value and transmitting, during the access interval, a number of data segments collectively having a duration not exceeding the access interval. The data segments transmitted to a given switch module during an access interval may be destined to several other switch modules. The switch modules may cyclically connect to each other using a plurality of rotators of the same rotational speed. In another embodiment, the rotorswitch uses rotators of different speeds connecting common-memory switch modules so that each of the switch modules has parallel cyclic access, possibly at different cyclic rates, to each other switch module.
