Summary:According to certain implementations, a motherboard is provided that enables operation as either multiple independent single-processor systems or a single multiple-processor system. In response to a request to configure the motherboard as multiple independent single-processor systems, a control block is implemented for each processor attached to the motherboard, where the control blocks configure the processors to boot and operate independently of each other, and the processors utilize separate motherboard resources. In response to a request to configure the motherboard as multiple independent single-processor systems, a single control block is implemented all processors attached to the motherboard, where the single control block configures all processors to boot and operate in a connected state, and the processors share all motherboard resources.
