Q: Doesn’t all this connectivity add delays?

A: Yes, but with minimal impact to performance. Hexabitz arrays are mesh control networks by nature and thus, you usually only exchange control and status messages in short packets. Tightly coupling Direct Memory Access (DMA) streams with hardware communication ports in innovative ways allow for flexible and efficient data transfer across the array. In the rare cases where you need bulk data transfer between specific modules, customized communication ports will be available.
