Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes: receiving, in a root tile of an accelerator device having a plurality of tiles, a message from a processor, the message comprising a register write request to a register of a first remote tile of the plurality of remote tiles; decoding, in an endpoint controller of the root tile, a system address of the message to identify a destination tile for the message, based at least in part on a base address register decode of the system address; and in response to identifying the first remote tile as the destination tile, updating a first portion of an address offset field of the system address to a predetermined value and directing the message to the first remote tile coupled to the root tile via a sideband interconnect. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
