A system for minimizing the length of the longest diagonal interconnection. A
multiple
chip module may comprise a first chip connected to a second chip located diagonally
to the first chip. The first and second chip are interconnected by one or more
interconnections commonly referred to as diagonal interconnections. Since the one
or more diagonal interconnections between the first chip and the second chip are
interconnected between a set of pins on each chip that form a triangular pattern,
the longest diagonal interconnection is substantially the same length as the length
of the longest orthogonal interconnection. Furthermore, since the one or more diagonal
interconnections between the first chip and the second chip are interconnected
between a set of pins on each chip that form a triangular pattern, the longest
diagonal interconnection is substantially the same length as the length of the
second longest diagonal interconnection.
