Bricks for building a network on a chip

摘要

The brick has a longitudinal extra-connection bus segment (14) connecting a set of terminals (14-1, 14-2) that is situated on opposite transverse edges of the brick on a first axis. Two longitudinal intra-connection bus segments (18) connect circuits (20) of the brick to the respective terminals situated on the opposite transverse edges on a second axis symmetrical to the first axis with respect to the center of the brick. A transverse extra-connection bus segment (12) connects another set of terminals (12-1, 12-2) that is situated on opposite longitudinal edges of the brick on a third axis.
