Abstract
A high-availability parallel processing server has multiple processors that are grouped into processor clusters and a plurality of memory segments. Each cluster may have up to four processors, and there may be up to five clusters of processors. Each of the processor clusters has dedicated memory buses for communicating with each of the memory segments. The server may be designed to maintain coherent interaction between all processor clusters and the memory segments.
