Abstract
A system for minimizing the length of the longest diagonal interconnection. A multiple chip module may comprise a first chip connected to a second chip located diagonally to the first chip. The first and second chip are interconnected by one or more interconnections commonly referred to as diagonal interconnections. Since the one or more diagonal interconnections between the first chip and the second chip are interconnected between a set of pins on each chip that form a triangular pattern, the longest diagonal interconnection is substantially the same length as the length of the longest orthogonal interconnection. Furthermore, since the one or more diagonal interconnections between the first chip and the second chip are interconnected between a set of pins on each chip that form a triangular pattern, the longest diagonal interconnection is substantially the same length as the length of the second longest diagonal interconnection.
