Disclosed is a connector assembly for a parallel-processing device, the assembly comprising a pile of bus disks (7) each having an integrated circuit crossbar switch (9) at its centre and a plurality of conductor lines (13) radiating from the centre crossbar switch, thus providing communication lines of equal length to make a required electrical connection between selected processing units. This eliminates the necessity of adjusting different transmission times in communication between selected processing units, and accordingly the time involved for processing is shortened. A pile of numerous disks permit interconnection of numerous processing units therearound through the shortest possible conductor lines, thus making the processing units insensitive to interference by noise signals. <IMAGE> |
