The RTDS Simulator takes advantage of a custom parallel processing hardware architecture assembled in modular units called racks. Each rack contains slot (max. 20) and rail-mounted cards. The racks are installed in one of four sizes of cubicles. The specific composition of an RTDS Simulator depends on the processing and I/O requirements of the intended application. A common communications backplane links all rack mounted cards facilitating information exchange. Each rack's backplane functions independently so that communication of data can be done in parallel thereby reducing communication bottlenecks.; X; n6 E# M4 R: p4 k8 Q( t
