Zusammenfassung:An inter-chip communication (ICC) mechanism enables any processor in a pipelined arrayed processing engine to communicate directly with any other processor of the engine over a low-latency communication path. The ICC mechanism includes a unidirectional control plane path that is separate from a data plane path of the engine and that accommodates control information flow among the processors. The mechanism thus enables inter-processor communication without sending messages over the data plane communication path extending through processors of each pipeline.
