Objectif The objective of the OMI/HIC project is to provide low-cost, high-performance serial interconnect for the OMI. It will develop technologies to provide a range of cost/performance tradeoffs within a common protocol framework, at moderate distance scales, ie chip-to-chip, board-to-board, rack-to-rack and room-to-room. Target performance levels are 200 Mbaud, 700 Mbaud to 1 Gbaud, and 2-3 Gbaud. The design of a higher speed digital signal (DS) link is nearly complete. Prototype complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) driver and receiver circuits for optical interconnect are being tested. A CMOS chip has been developed to provide a parallel interface to a 1 Gbaud serial link, with built in support for the lower levels of the protocol stack. A test chip has demonstrated feasibility of 3 GBaud in a bipolar CMOS (BiCMOS) device. A design study for a high-performance routing chip with advanced features has been done. A book has been published about DS-Links and their applications, and the protocols developed within the project are the basis for a draft IEEE standard, p1355.The project aims to: - double the performance of INMOS DS-Links to 200 Mbaud, and provide drivers/receivers for fibre optic interconnect at these speeds (using an encoding developed in the GPMIMD project) - develop 1 Gbaud serial link technology, implemented in 0.5 micron CMOS, with protocols conforming to the OMI high-level interconnect standard - evaluate BiCMOS as a technology for 2-3 Gbaud serial links on copper media and provide drivers/receivers for fibre optic interconnect at 1 Gbaud - provide macrocells supporting the serial link technologies to the ELI library standards - develop routing and interfacing chips based on serial link technology - demonstrate use of the serial links on at least two different processor architectures - demonstrate use of the serial links as a transport mechanism for SCI (IEEE 1596) protocols.
