Abstract
A graphics processing system with multiple graphics processing cores (GPC)s is disclosed. The apparatus can include a peripheral component interface express (PCIe) switch to interface the GPCs to a host processor. The apparatus can also include a transparent bus to connect the GPCs. The transparent bus can be implemented with two PCIe endpoints on each side of a nontransparent bridge where these three components provide a bus interconnect and a control line interconnect between the GPCs. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
