Interconnection system, data transmission method, and chip

A method for transmitting data in an interconnection system, wherein the interconnection system comprises:

• a plurality of circular data paths comprising a first lateral circular data path, a second lateral circular data path, a first longitudinal circular data path, and a second longitudinal circular data path;
• a plurality of data routing components coupled to the plurality of circular data paths, wherein the plurality of data routing components comprise a first data routing component and a second data routing component, the first data routing component is disposed at a first intersection of and is coupled to the first lateral circular data path and the first longitudinal circular data path, and the second data routing component is disposed at a second intersection of and is coupled to the second lateral circular data path and the second longitudinal circular data path;
• and
• at least one functional component disposed at a non-intersection corresponding to one of the first lateral circular data path and the first longitudinal circular data path, and wherein the method comprises:
• transmitting, by the at least one functional component, data to another one of the first lateral circular data path and the first longitudinal circular data path;
• receiving the data by the first data routing component;
• and
• forwarding, by the first data routing component, the received data to a destination component on the other one of the first lateral circular data path and the first longitudinal circular data path, wherein the at least one functional component is coupled only to the one of the first lateral circular data path and the first longitudinal circular data path;
• wherein the data carries a destination address of the destination component;
• and
• wherein the first data routing component is configured to:
• store a first address set, wherein the first address set comprises an address of a component coupled to the first lateral circular data path and an address of a component coupled to the first longitudinal circular data path;
• determine that the destination address carried in the data is consistent with an address in the first address set;
• and
• in response to determining that the destination address carried in the data is consistent with the address in the first address set, receive the data and forward the data to the destination component.
