This paper considers the so-called "blade" server solutions of multiprocessor computing systems, where several same-type mother modules are installed in one enclosure. The main feature of the clustered system, which is considered in this paper, is that the data interchange among computing nodes is carried out in a separate network, which operates at the channel level using channel bonding mechanisms. This provided an increase in the speed of data interchange and reduced the load of the channel that connects the nodes of the cluster. Further reseraches were aimed at implementing a procedure for increasing the efficiency of parallelization by introducing of multichannel modes of the network interface of modular computing systems. The conducted studies have created the prerequisites for a quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of a multiprocessor computing system in the implementation of a multi-channel operation mode of a cluster network.
