Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relate to processor arrays, and in particular, a processor array with interconnect circuits for bonding semiconductor dies. One embodiment comprises multiple semiconductor dies and at least one interconnect circuit for exchanging signals between the dies. Each die comprises at least one processor core circuit. Each interconnect circuit corresponds to a die of the processor array. Each interconnect circuit comprises one or more attachment pads for interconnecting a corresponding die with another die, and at least one multiplexor structure configured for exchanging bus signals in a reversed order.
