Abstract
A multi-dimensional mesh architecture is proposed to support transmitting data packets from one source to a plurality of destinations in multicasting or broadcasting modes. Each data packet to be transmitted to the destinations carries a destination mask, wherein each bit in the destination mask represents a corresponding destination processing block in the mesh architecture the data packet is sent to. The data packet traverses through the mesh architecture based on a routing scheme, wherein the data packet first traverses in a first direction across a first set of processing blocks and then traverses in a second direction across a second set of processing blocks to the first destination. During the process, the data packet is only replicated when it reaches a splitting processing block where the paths to different destinations diverge. The original and the replicated data packets are then routed in different directions until they reach their respective destinations.
