a Schematic of the re-routing unit. b Operation and wiring potentials of the loop detection section, with and without the presence of a loop. The red line indicates a high-level (Hi) potential, while the blue line indicates a low-level (Lo) potential. Here, STO and SDO are terminals that transmit trigger signals and data signals outside the node. RTO and RDO are terminals that receive trigger signals and data signals from outside the node. STI and SDI are terminals that send trigger signals and data signals to other routing units within the same node. RTO and RDO are terminals that receive trigger signals and data signals from other routing units within the same node. The J, K, and Q ports of the JK flip-flop (JK-FF) elements are the set input, reset input, and output signal port, respectively. The NI port is a port that receives information indicating that an adjacent routing unit has received a signal. OL represents the output of the Loop Detector part, and when it is Hi, it indicates that a loop has been detected.
