Abstract
Embodiments of a system are described. This system includes an array of chip modules (CMs) that are configured to communicate data signals with each other via optical communication. In a given CM module, optical signal paths, such as waveguides, are routed in the same way as in the other CMs in the array. In this way, a common optical design in the CMs may be used in the system to prevent data conflicts during the optical communication.
