A microelectronic assembly can include a substrate having first and second surfaces, at least two logic chips overlying the first surface, and a memory chip having a front surface with contacts thereon, the front surface of the memory chip confronting a rear surface of each logic chip. The substrate can have conductive structure thereon and terminals exposed at the second surface for connection with a component. Signal contacts of each logic chip can be directly electrically connected to signal contacts of the other logic chips through the conductive structure of the substrate for transfer of signals between the logic chips. The logic chips can be adapted to simultaneously execute a set of instructions of a given thread of a process. The contacts of the memory chip can be directly electrically connected to the signal contacts of at least one of the logic chips through the conductive structure of the substrate.
