fig3 is a block diagram plan view of client node 51 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention the same drawing may represent resource node 53 and other nodes in either matrix a node is a client node or a resource node by nature of connection to resources or clients rather than by particular physical structure node 51 comprises a cpu 81 a memory unit 83 and routing bridge circuitry 85 in this embodiment the memory unit is random access memory ram it will be apparent to those with skill in the art that other types of electronic memory may be used as well control routines stored in memory 83 are accessed and operated by cpu 81 to manage data flow and logical functions for the local node outputs from cpu 81 configure bridge circuitry 85 for routing requests and data in the network in node 41 cpu 81 is linked to ram 83 by bus 87 and to bridge 85 by bus 89 a third bus 88 in this embodiment links bridge circuitry 85 with memory 83 in one embodiment bus 88 has an extra wide bandwidth links 44 are links to adjacent nodes on the same pcb as described above link 55 is the link to a client lan in this example via an outside connector and link 57 is the link to an associated node in the resource array in the case of a resource node link 57 would be the link to.
