Zusammenfassung:Embodiments herein describe an integrated circuit (IC) which includes a global ring that interconnects multiple local rings distributed throughout the IC. In one embodiment, the global ring is connected to the local rings using respective switches. The global ring (and the switches) interconnect the local rings so that a node coupled to one of the local rings can communicate with a node connected to another local ring.
