Zusammenfassung:A multi-chip package includes first and second groups of integrated circuit (IC) chips and a transfer IC chip disposed in the multi-chip package. The transfer IC chip is communicatively interposed between the first and second groups of IC chips and is configured to transfer signals from at least a first IC chip of the first group of IC chips to at least a second IC chip of the second group of IC chips or an output interface. The output interface is configured to output first data from the multi-chip package. A first set of ultra-short reach (USR) signaling links connects the first group of IC chips to the transfer IC chip. A second set of USR signaling links connects the second group of IC chips to the transfer IC chip. Each of the USR signaling links comprises a trace length of less than one inch.
