Abstract
An integrated circuit comprises compute nodes arranged in an array; a torus topology network-on-chip interconnecting the compute nodes; and a network extension unit at each end of each row or column of the array, inserted in a network link between two compute nodes. The extension unit has a normal mode establishing the continuity of the network link between the two corresponding compute nodes, and an extension mode dividing the network link in two independent segments that are accessible from outside the integrated circuit.
