Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an interconnect comprising interfaces to communicate with respective requester and receiver node devices, and home nodes. Each home node is configured to: receive requests from one or more requester nodes, each request comprising a target address corresponding to a target receiver nodes; and transmit each said request to the corresponding target receiver node. Mapping circuitry is configured to: associate each of said plurality of home nodes with a given home node cluster; perform a first hashing of the target address of a given request, to determine a target cluster; perform a second hashing of the target address, to determine a target home node within said target cluster; and direct the given message, to the target home node.
