Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described relating to a crossbar which is operable to route data from any of a first number of input channels to any of a second number of output channels according to routing control information. Each combination of an input channel and an output channel corresponds to one of a plurality of links. The crossbar circuitry is operable to route the data in a deterministic manner on each of the links thereby preserving a partial ordering represented by the routing control information. Events on different links are uncorrelated.
