Abstract
In a computer comprising a plurality of integrated circuits (ICs), each IC may be connected to all other ICs via a respective point-to-point interconnect. A source IC divides the data to be transmitted to a destination IC for a transaction to generate multiple data cells so that each data cell includes a different portion of the data. The source IC transmits one of the data cells to the destination IC and remaining data cells to intermediate ICs, wherein an intermediate IC is an IC other than the source IC or the destination IC. The intermediate ICs forward the remaining data cells to the destination IC.
