Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed to provide an autonomous management of communication links between dice on a multi-die assembly. Each die can include a detection unit and a controller to detect a failing communication link and perform link maintenance by directing the communication traffic on the failing link to an operational link before the link fails. Once the failing link has been repaired, the controller can re-direct the traffic back to the repaired link. The controllers on each die can negotiate through a handshake process to provide the continuous operation by switching the communication traffic from the failing link to the operational link, and then from the operational link to the repaired link.
