Abstract

An integrated-circuit apparatus (101) comprises a network of multi-channel routers (104; 301), each multi-channel router comprising one or more ingress network ports (306) and one or more egress network ports (306) for exchanging flits with one or more further multi-channel routers of the network. A multi-channel router (301) of the network comprises a plurality of upload device ports (302), each upload device port configured to receive upload flits from a respective device of the system, and a plurality of download device ports (302a), each configured to send download flits to a respective device of the system. The multi-channel router (301) further comprises a plurality of channel modules (304) configured to route flits from the upload device ports (302) and ingress network ports (306) to the download device ports (302a) and egress network ports (306). It is configured such that each of the channel modules (304) can receive flits from any ingress network port (306) associated with a respective channel of the plurality of channels and from only a respective subset of the upload device ports (302), particular to the respective channel module, and can selectively route flits to any egress network port (306) associated with the respective channel and to any of the plurality of download device ports (302a).
