Abstract
Method and apparatus for providing a non-blocking routing network for establishing arbitrary connections between n primary nodes (m_n−1) and N≧n secondary nodes (r_N−1). The routing network requires less physical connections than a corresponding Clos routing network while having small transmission delays. One embodiment of the invention provides a routing network that is well suited for direct on-chip implementation due to the matrix structure of the routing network.
