SuperSwitch configurations
allow for communication to a combination of processors as well as external stand-alone PCI Express devices or expansion systems. SuperSwitch also provides a simple way to network between various computer architectures such as
CPCI, laptops, desktop systems or PICMG passive backplane architectures.

SuperSwitch is used in many applications such as medical imaging, server farms, instrumentation, video and other applications requiring large amounts of data transfers from one processor to another.

One Stop Systems’ exclusive ExpressNet™ software suite allows direct data transfers as well as TCP/IP transfers between multiple processors. The software drivers initialize memory address translation registers in the non-transparent bridge components that allow data to be transferred from one CPU’s memory to another. With TCP/IP added, the interface is identical to a normal Ethernet port, except much faster. In addition to driver support, ExpressNet software handles hot-swap events and other networking functions. Currently, ExpressNet software support is available for Linux and Windows, with additional OS support following.
