BYPASS ROUTING

Systems and methods for routing packets around dead dies in an array are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method for routing a packet in a die array that include a dead die can include routing a packet from a first die to a second die by way a first channel of a plurality of first channels and routing the packet from the second die to a third die by way of a second channel of a plurality of second channels based on one or more routing rules. The one or more routing rules can allow the first channel to route the packet to a subset of the plurality of second channels that includes the second channel. The second channel can be orthogonal to the first channel such that routing the packet from the first die to the third die involves a turn. The method can route the packet around the dead die.
