The communication described in the previous section is inside an AIE-ML tile or between two neighboring AIE-ML tiles. For non-neighboring AIE-ML tiles, a similar communication can be established using the DMA in the memory module associated with each AIE-ML tile, as shown in the following figure. The synchronization of the ping-pong buffers in each memory module is carried out by the locks in a similar manner to the AIE-ML to AIE-ML Data Communication via Local Memory section. In comparison to the neighboring tile communication, the main differences in this mode are increased communication latency and memory resources.
