One of the most demanding challenges for the designers of parallel computing architectures is to deliver an efficient network infrastructure providing low latency, high bandwidth communications while preserving scalability. Besides off-chip communications between processors, recent multi-tile (i.e. multi-core) architectures face the challenge for an efficient on-chip interconnection network between processor's tiles. In this paper, we present a configurable and scalable architecture, based on our Distributed Network Processor (DNP) IP Library, targeting systems ranging from single MPSoCs to massive HPC platforms. The DNP provides inter-tile services for both on-chip and off-chip communications with a uniform RDMA style API, over a multi-dimensional direct network with a (possibly) hybrid topology.
