Abstract:
1. An information processing system, comprising: a plurality of processors, each having at least one optical fiber input and at least one optical fiber output; a controller having at least one optical fiber input and at least one fiber output; a plurality of fibers, bundled for transmitting information; and a fiber bundle redriver, coupled to the controller, having an input channel and an output channel, for simultaneously redriving an optical signal received from any selected one of the plurality of input fibers onto substantially all of the plurality of output fibers, wherein the at least one fiber output of each of the plurality of processors and the at least one fiber output of said controller are respectively coupled to the input channel of the fiber bundle redriver, and the at least one fiber input of each of said plurality of processors and the at least one fiber input of said controller are respectively coupled to the output channel of the fiber bundle redriver.
