Patent ID: 7459927

Claim:
A superconducting crossbar switch, comprising: a plurality of input lines; a matrix of a plurality of cells, each of the plurality of cells being coupled to one of the plurality of input lines, wherein each of the plurality of cells includes: at least one first circuit portion containing at least one first superconducting switch; and at least one second circuit portion, wherein at least one first signal via the at least one second circuit portion triggers the at least one first superconducting switch; a plurality of output lines, each of the plurality of output lines coupled to at least one of the plurality of cells; at least one first processor glue chip and at least one second processor glue chip coupled to the matrix of the plurality of cells; at least one first memory glue chip and at least one second memory glue chip coupled to the matrix of the plurality of cells; at least one first plurality of processors coupled to the at least one first glue chip via at least one first input data line; at least one second plurality of processors coupled to the at least one second glue chip; at least one first plurality of memory devices coupled to the at least one first memory glue chip; and at least one second plurality of memory devices coupled to the at least one second memory glue chip.
