Abstract
A system including at least one storage node and at least one computation node connected by a switch is described herein. Each storage node has one or more storage units and one or more network interface components, the collective bandwidths of the storage units and the network interface components being proportioned to one another to enable communication to and from other nodes at the collective bandwidth of the storage units. Each computation node has logic configured to make requests of storage nodes, an input/output bus, and one or more network interface components, the bandwidth of the bus and the collective bandwidths of the network interface components being proportioned to one another to enable communication to and from other nodes at the bandwidth of the input/output bus.
