Abstract
A method for building a multiprocessor data processing system is disclosed. A component among a collection of components on a multichip module is identified. The collection of components, which includes both processors and cache components, and each of the components may be functional or non-functional. A determination is made as to whether or not the identified component is functional. In response to a determination that the identified component is functional, the process of component association is performed between the identified component and other functional components on the multichip module such that interconnect length between all functional components can be minimized.
