ABSTRACT:
A self-timed link between two elements in a computer system is initialized. Each element sends an initialization request to the other. If successfully received, the elements exchange signals with oscillation-free segments over multiple clock cycles. If successful, the elements indicate to each other that initialization is complete. Optionally, a link operation parameter can be sent with the initialization complete indication for post-initialization link control.
