Abstract:
1. A server system of a symmetrical multi-processor (SMP) structure comprising a plurality of nodes, wherein each node is connected to other nodes with a plurality of linkages, and includes a node controller having a transmitter and a receiver for performing transmission and reception of snoops among all nodes inclusive of its own node, respectively, and a queuing circuit for receiving a snoop transmitted from the transmitter from said own node and transmitting, after a predetermined time, said snoop received to the receiver of said own node, wherein said node controller of said node ranks the sequence of reception of snoops from all nodes inclusive of its own node, wherein the sequence of reception of snoops from all nodes inclusive of its own node is guaranteed to be the same among all nodes, wherein a plane is provided which interconnects the individual nodes with the linkages, and wherein said plane has wiring lines for interconnecting the individual nodes equidistantly, and each node internally has a transfer route for its own node and having the same wiring line length as that of the equidistant wiring lines for interconnecting the individual nodes in said plane.
