Abstract:
1. A method comprising: receiving, by a processor, input from a user selecting characteristics of a processing unit; selecting, by the processor, a first individual integrated circuit from a first group of individual integrated circuits based on the selected characteristics, wherein each individual integrated circuit of the first group is configured to perform a first function; selecting, by the processor, a second individual integrated circuit from a second group of individual integrated circuits based on the selected characteristics, wherein each individual integrated circuit of the second group is configured to perform a second function different than the first function, and wherein each individual integrated circuit of the first and second groups comprises a plurality of interconnects arranged in a common predetermined configuration; and electrically coupling the plurality of interconnects of the first integrated circuit to the plurality of interconnects of the second integrated circuit, wherein electrically coupling the plurality of interconnects of the first integrated circuit to the plurality of interconnects of the second integrated circuit facilitates transmission of at least one common electrical signal through the first and second integrated circuits via the plurality of interconnects.
