Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 4:
5. An apparatus, comprising:
an endpoint device comprising a plurality of emulated Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) endpoint devices accessible using respective separate sets of nonshared endpoint serial channels; and
a motherboard configured to establish symmetrical serial links between each of a plurality of processor devices and the endpoint device providing the plurality of emulated PCIe endpoint devices via the respective separate sets of nonshared endpoint serial channels to enable simultaneous communication between the respective emulated PCIe endpoint devices of the endpoint device and each of the plurality of processor devices, wherein the motherboard comprises:
a plurality of serial links, wherein each separate serial link is configured to couple with a separate processor device of the plurality of processor devices; and
an individual motherboard serial link interface configured to communicatively couple with the separate sets of nonshared endpoint serial channels of the endpoint device via separate symmetrical sets of motherboard serial channels such that symmetrical serial links are established between respective different ones of the respective separate sets of nonshared endpoint serial channels of the endpoint device and respective ones of the plurality of processor devices of the motherboard via symmetrical limited selections of motherboard serial channels of the separate symmetrical sets of motherboard serial channels.
