Patent abstract

Embodiments of a circuit, a buffered crosspoint switch that includes the circuit and a computer system that includes the switch are described. In this circuit and switch, deep crosspoint buffers are replaced with smaller distributed buffers. This modification reduces the cost of the switch and improves the scaling properties of the architecture.
