ABSTRACT:
A proximity interconnect module includes a plurality of off-chip cache memories. Either disposed external to the proximity interconnect module or on the proximity interconnect module are a plurality of processors that are dependent on the plurality of off-chip cache memories for servicing requests for data. The plurality of off-chip cache memories are operatively connected to either one another or to one or more of the plurality of processors by proximity communication. Each of the plurality of off-chip cache memories may cache certain portions of the physical address space.
