Translation layer circuitry is provided to: generate, from the set of ordered sets, at least one data structure to comprise at least a portion of the link information, and cause the data structure to be sent from the first device to the second device on the link in lieu of the set of ordered sets.

Integrated circuit packages with multiple integrated circuit dies are provided. A multichip package may include a substrate, a main die that is mounted on the substrate, and multiple transceiver daughter dies that are mounted on the substrate and that are coupled to the main die via corresponding Embedded Multi-die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB) interconnects formed in the substrate. Each of the main die and the daughter dies may include configurable adapter circuitry for interfacing with the EMIB interconnects. The adapter circuitry may include FIFO buffer circuits operable in a 1× mode or 2× mode and configurable in a phase-compensation mode, a clock-compensation mode, an elastic mode, and a register bypass mode to help support a variety of communications protocols with different data width and clocking requirements. The adapter circuitry may also include boundary alignment circuitry for reconstructing (de)compressed data streams.

Methods and apparatus for implementing a bus in a resource constrained system. In embodiments, a first FPGA is to a parallel bus and a second FPGA is connected to the first FPGA via a serial interface but not the parallel bus. The first FPGA processes a transaction request, which has a parallel bus protocol format, to the second FPGA by an initiator and converts the transaction request to the second FPGA into a transaction on the serial interface between the first and second FPGAs. The first FPGA responds to the initiator via the parallel bus indicating that the transaction request in the format for the parallel bus to the second FPGA is complete.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for efficient data transfer in a computing system are disclosed. A source generates packets to send across a communication fabric (or fabric) to a destination. The source generates partition enable signals for the partitions of payload data. The source negates an enable signal for a particular partition when the source determines the packet type indicates the particular partition should have an associated asserted enable signal in the packet, but the source also determines the particular partition includes a particular data pattern. Routing components of the fabric disable clock signals to storage elements assigned to store the particular partition. The destination inserts the particular data pattern for the particular partition in the payload data.
