The increasing number of cores challenges the scalability of chip multiprocessors. Recent studies proposed the idea of disintegration by partitioning a large chip into multiple smaller chips and using silicon interposer-based integration (2.5D) to connect these smaller chips. This method can improve yield, but as the number of small chips increases, the chip-to-chip communication becomes a performance bottleneck.
