Abstract
A system can include a plurality of first server modules interconnected to one another via a communication network, each first server module including a first switch, at least one main processor, and at least one computation module coupled to the main processor by a bus, each computation module including a second switch, and a plurality of computation elements; wherein the second switches of the first server modules form a switching plane for the ingress and egress of network packets independent of any main processors of the first server modules.
