Ground-referenced single-ended signaling connected graphics processing unit multi-chip module
A system of interconnected chips comprising a multi-chip module (MCM) includes a first processor chip, a graphics processing cluster (GPC) chip, and an MCM package configured to include the first processor chip, the GPC chip, and an interconnect circuit. The first processor chip is configured to include a first ground-referenced single-ended signaling interface circuit. A first set of electrical traces fabricated within the MCM package and configured to couple the first single-ended signaling interface circuit to the interconnect circuit. The GPC chip is configured to include a second single-ended signaling interface circuit and to execute shader programs. A second set of electrical traces fabricated within the MCM package and configured to couple the second single-ended signaling interface circuit to the interconnect circuit. In one embodiment, each single-ended signaling interface advantageously implements ground-referenced single-ended signaling.
