Abstract
A process and interface for interconnection of multiprocessor modules by point-to-point serial-to-parallel links. Data processing or data communication modules (A and B) are interconnected by means of high-speed point-to-point serial links conveying multiplexed information organized into frames comprising a start-of-frame recognition pattern. The process, on transmission and on reception, performs an analog synchronization of the basic clocks of the modules to a reference clock generated by one of the modules designated as a reference module, called the master module, the other modules being called slave modules, and a digital synchronization of the start-of-frame of each slave module to the start-of-frame sent by the master module.
