Abstract:
1. A system architecture comprising: a first stack of board elements, each board element of said first stack being aligned in parallel with a first plane; a first control board aligned in parallel with the first plane; a second stack of board elements, each board element of the second stack being aligned in parallel with the second plane, the second plane being at non-zero angle relative to the first plane; a second control board aligned in parallel with the second plane, the second control board having an I/O bus to board elements aligned in parallel with the first plane; a connector providing an electrical interface between the first and second board elements; and an internal bus architecture between the first and second control boards, the internal bus architecture allowing the first control board to control the first stack of board elements via the I/O bus on the second control board and allowing the second control board to control the second stack of board elements via the I/O bus on the first control board.
