  • Abstract
    This paper presents predictions for the operating frequency limits of the two main styles of inter-chip connections based on the existing product results for IBM´s S/390 MCMs. Simulation results available in the literature are used to validate future projections for the operating frequency limit of synchronous interconnections (700 MHz) and source synchronous interconnections (1.5 GHz)
