    Abstract: A die with a transmission circuit, a reception circuit, and a comparison circuit can be provided. The transmission circuit can be configured to transmit a first signal through a first channel at a first transmission rate and a first transmission amplitude. The reception circuit can be in communication with the transmission circuit through the first channel. The reception circuit can receive a second signal at a first reception rate and at a first reception amplitude. The comparison circuit can be in communication with the transmission circuit and the reception circuit. The comparison circuit can be configured to: determine a first rate error value, determine a first amplitude error value, compare the first rate error value with a rate threshold to determine a first rate error occurrence, and compare the first amplitude error value with an amplitude threshold to determine a first amplitude error occurrence.

    Abstract: First data is received on a plurality of data lanes of a physical link and a stream signal corresponding to the first data is received on a stream lane identifying a type of the first data. A first instance of an error detection code of a particular type is identified in the first data. Second data is received on at least a portion of the plurality of data lanes and a stream signal corresponding to the second data is received on the stream lane identifying a type of the second data. A second instance of the error detection code of the particular type is identified in the second data. The stream lane is another one of the lanes of the physical link and, in some instance, the type of the second data is different from the type of the first data.

    Abstract: An interconnect interface is provided to enable communication with an off-package device over a link including a plurality of lanes. Logic of the interconnect interface includes receiver logic to receive a valid signal from the off-package device on a dedicated valid lane of the link indicating that data is to arrive on a plurality of dedicated data lanes in the plurality of lanes, receive the data on the data lanes from the off-package device sampled based on arrival of the valid signal, and receive a stream signal from the off-package device on a dedicated stream lane in the plurality of lanes. The stream signal corresponds to the data and indicates a particular data type of the data. The particular data type can be one of a plurality of different data types capable of being received on the plurality of data lanes of the link.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a processor, a laser, and a modulator. The processor is to generate a first electrical signal including first data and a second electrical signal including second data. The laser is to generate a multiplexed carrier signal comprising a first carrier signal and a second carrier signal, the laser to operate at a first laser power setting. The modulator is to generate a multiplexed optical signal including a first optical signal based in part on the first electrical signal and the first carrier signal and a second optical signal based in part on the second electrical signal and the second carrier signal. The apparatus is to transmit the multiplexed optical signal to a device and to retransmit the first data from the apparatus to the device based on a detection of error in a received version of the first data at the device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
