Disclosed is a parallel processing system comprising, in combination, a stack assembly of bus-printed disks (7) and a plurality of processing unit boards (24) standing upright around and electrically connected to the stack assembly of bus-printed disks. Each bus-printed disk (7) has an IC crossbar switch (9) at its centre and printed signal conductors (13,15) radiating from the IC crossbar switch, and terminated with impedance matching elements (16). A selected processing unit board (24) has an IC crossbar switch controller (27) to allow the switch elements of each crossbar switch (9) to open and close in a predetermined sequence. With this arrangement communication to make electrical connections between selected processing units. Thus, reliable, noise-free, high-speed transportation of data is permitted. <IMAGE> |
