    Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes PHY circuitry to implement a PHY-based retry technique, e.g., in die-to-die interfaces. The PHY circuitry includes a retry buffer to buffer data provided by the interface controller and error detection code generation circuitry to generate error detection codes based on input data. The PHY circuitry is to implement the retry technique by detecting a stall signal asserted by another apparatus across the channel, causing the error detection code generation circuitry to generate error detection codes based on data in the retry buffer, and transmitting the data from the retry buffer and its corresponding error detection codes across the channel to the other apparatus.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein may relate to a processor package with a substrate and a multi-chip processor coupled with the substrate. The multi-chip processor may include a dual-sided interconnect structure coupled with a first chip, a second chip, and a third chip. The first chip may be communicatively coupled with the second chip by an on-chip communication route. Likewise, the second chip may be communicatively coupled with the first chip by an on-chip communication route. Additionally, the first chip may be communicatively coupled with the third chip by a fast-lane communication route. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: In an example, a system and method for centering in a high-performance interconnect (HPI) are disclosed. When an interconnect is powered up from a dormant state, it may be necessary to “center” the clock signal to ensure that data are read at the correct time. A multi-phase method may be used, in which a first phase comprises a reference voltage sweep to identify an optimal reference voltage. A second phase comprises a phase sweep to identify an optimal phase. A third sweep comprises a two-dimensional “eye” phase, in which a plurality of values within a two-dimensional eye derived from the first two sweeps are tested. In each case, the optimal value is the value that results in the fewest bit error across multiple lanes. In one example, the second and third phases are performed in software, and may include testing a “victim” lane, with adjacent “aggressor” lanes having a complementary bit pattern.

    Abstract: One or more link training signals are received, including instances of a link training pattern, on a plurality of lanes of a physical link that includes at least one valid lane and a plurality of data lanes. The plurality of lanes are trained together using the link training signals to synchronize sampling of the valid lane with sampling of the plurality of data lanes. An active link state is entered and a valid signal received on the valid lane during the active link state. The valid signal includes a signal held at a value for a defined first duration and indicates that data is to be received on the plurality of data lanes in a second defined duration subsequent to the first duration. The data is to be received, during the active link state, on the plurality of data lanes during the second defined duration.
