Information Handling System Including Multiple Compute Element Processor With Primary And Secondary Interconnect Trunks

摘要

A symmetric multi-processing (SMP) processor includes a primary interconnect trunk for communication of information between multiple compute elements situated along the primary interconnect trunk. The processor also includes a secondary interconnected trunk that may be oriented perpendicular with respect to the primary interconnect trunk. The secondary interconnect trunk communicates information off-chip via a number of I/O interfaces at the perimeter of the processor chip. The I/O interfaces may be distributed uniformly along portions of the perimeter.
