Abstract
Various embodiments improve the operation of computers by providing methods of transmitting data with low latency and high bandwidth. Data may be transmitted in a packet composed of data flits, the data flits having at least two different formats configured to implement different communication protocols. In some embodiments, a given flit may be transmitted using two different modulation methods, with a first part of the flit transmitted using a first modulation method, such as a binary method, and a second part of the flit using a higher-order modulation method.
