Abstract

In on embodiment, a hybrid fabric interconnects multiple graphics processor cores within a processor. The hybrid fabric interconnect includes multiple data channels, including programmable virtual data channels. The virtual data channels carry multiple traffic classes of packet-based messages. The virtual data channels and multiple traffic classes may be assigned one of multiple priorities. The virtual data channels may be arbitrated independently. The hybrid fabric is scalable and can support multiple topologies, including multiple stacked integrated circuit topologies.
