SPLIT COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE

摘要

A network interface is described in which a single computer bus is split over a long distance into two or more inter-communicating buses. On one bus (20), processing and applications are provided and on the other remote bus (21), peripheral and local controllers are provided. The buses communicate through a series of: bridge (24), FPGA (26), FPGA (27) and bridge (25). Between the FPGAs, a communication path provides long distance communication.
