Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 19:
20. The method of claim 19, further comprising changing the different number of lanes of the retimed parallel version of the PCIe multi-lane data into optical data; wherein:
each asset is one of: a CPU asset, a network interface asset, a GPU asset, a memory asset, or a solid state drive asset;
each data communication path is a bidirectional optical fiber;
the data path transport protocol is a photonic cross-connect switch; and
transparently extending the multi-lane PCIe bus comprises transparently extending the multi-lane PCIe bus between each computing assets via the data communications paths and the data path transport without any of the functional elements being aware of the fabric interface device or of the data communication paths and without changing the PCIe data or changing PCIe control signals in the PCIe bus.
