Abstract
The present invention relates to a node connection apparatus. The 3-link node interconnection apparatus and parallel processing apparatus using the same confirm expanding nodes freely, only using fixed three connecting links, and are suitable to normal packaging method because of easy dividing into 2n (n>1) nodes. The apparatuses comprise the following nodes. The first node has three links connected to other nodes respectively. The second node has three links, one links of them is connected to the first node, and the other two links are in charge of connection of X+ direction, X− direction. The third node has three links, one link of them is connected to the first node, and the other two links are in charge of connection of Y+ direction, Y− direction. The fourth node has three links, one link of them is connected to the first node, and the other two links are in charge of connection of Z+ direction, Z− direction.
