Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for automatic generation of physically aware aggregation/distribution networks that enable optimized arrangement of a plurality of hardware elements, and provide positions and connectivity for one or more intermediate hardware elements. One or more intermediate hardware elements can be configured to aggregate signals/commands/messages/data from their corresponding hardware elements or from other intermediate hardware elements, and send the aggregated signals/commands/messages/data to a root hardware element that acts as a communication interface for the network. The intermediate hardware elements can also be configured to segregate/distribute signals/commands/message received from the root hardware element to a plurality of specified hardware elements and/or intermediate hardware elements.
