Interconnect Network

High-speed data transfer network connecting processing cores in computing arrays

Component Specifications

Definition
An interconnect network is a sophisticated electronic subsystem that facilitates high-bandwidth, low-latency communication between multiple processing cores within a processing core array. It manages data routing, synchronization, and arbitration to enable parallel processing and efficient resource sharing across the computational architecture.
Working Principle
Operates through packet-switched or circuit-switched routing protocols, using physical links (copper traces, optical fibers) and switching elements (crossbars, routers) to transmit data packets between cores based on destination addresses and network topology.
Materials
Copper alloys (for electrical traces), silicon (for integrated circuits), optical fibers (for high-speed links), dielectric substrates (e.g., FR-4, polyimide), and protective coatings.
Technical Parameters
  • Latency < 10 ns
  • Protocol PCIe, Ethernet, InfiniBand, proprietary
  • Topology Mesh, Torus, Fat Tree
  • Bandwidth Up to 1 Tb/s per link
  • Power Consumption 5-50 W depending on scale
Standards
ISO/IEC 11801, IEEE 802.3, ANSI/TIA-568
