  • Minimizing the maximum required link capacity for three-dimensional interconnect routing
    Patent number: 8725483
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for determining connectivity while minimizing wiring in an electronic system. The mechanism identifies a configuration of the electronic system, a location of each module in a plurality of modules within the electronic system and at least one constraint with regard to wiring the electronic system, the location of each module being identified using three-dimensional coordinates. The mechanism routes a separate cable from each module in the plurality of modules to each of the other modules in the plurality of modules without violating any constraints, thereby forming a plurality of cables. The mechanism then generates a cabling list indicating how each cable in the plurality of cables is to be routed in the electronic system in order to not violate any constraints and provide connectivity while minimizing wiring.
