Summary:Large scale computing systems with multi-lane mesochronous data transfers among computer nodes. A large scale computing system includes a large plurality of computing nodes interconnected in a predefined topology. Each computing node is controlled by a corresponding clock signal, and the each clock signal has a mesochronous relationship to the clock signals on the other computing nodes. Each connection between nodes is a multi-lane connection, and each lane carries a serial stream of data that is mesochronously related to the other lanes. Each data lane is characterized relative to the other data lanes between the first and second node to determine relative delay in transmission between the first and second nodes. The transmission delays are equalized so that each data lane provides data for processing in the second clock domain in substantial synchronism with the other lanes.
