Abstract
In an embodiment, a system on a chip (SOC) comprises a semiconductor die on which circuitry is formed, wherein the circuitry comprises a plurality of agents and a plurality of network switches coupled to the plurality of agents. The plurality of network switches are interconnected to form a plurality of physical and logically independent networks. A first network of the plurality of physically and logically independent networks is constructed according to a first topology and a second network of the plurality of physically and logically independent networks is constructed according to a second topology that is different from the first topology. For example, the first topology may a ring topology and the second topology may be a mesh topology. In an embodiment, coherency may be enforced on the first network and the second network may be a relaxed order network.
