Abstract
One embodiment of a reconfigurable graphics processing system includes a first MXM edge connector and a second MXM edge connector affixed to an interposer board and a first MXM board and a second MXM board coupled to the interposer board via the first and second MXM edge connectors, respectively. Each MXM board includes a GPU and other elements necessary to process graphics data. The system couples to the motherboard of a computing device through an interface connector on the interposer board. One advantage of such a system is that it may be configured to deliver more performance than a standard desktop graphics board, while occupying substantially the same volume, through the use of multiple, small form factor MXM boards.
