Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A small prototype network in which computers are linked in a crossbar grid of switches.

CONT

A crossbar is a 2-dimensional array of wires linked where they cross via switches. Each of the N computers might be linked to one row and to one column. Or, alternately, a different set of nodes, for example, memories, or/and input-output devices, might be linked at the columns. Thus a crossbar linking N computers has N x N switches.
