The article describes the experiments carried out during the post-silicone verification of Elbrus-8CB microprocessor – one of the important stages of the verification process, which mostly determines the possibility of creating high-performance computing systems consisting of several microprocessors of this series. The interprocessor communication channels of the Elbrus-8CB microprocessor were investigated and some hypotheses were put forward about the reasons for their low operating speed. Experiments conducted to validate these hypotheses are made with intermediate conclusions based on their results. The built-in testing mechanism of CEI-6G and PCIe 2.0 physical levels was described alongside with its operating modes and testing algorithm. Several studies were carried out to ensure the correctness of the testing mechanism. This led to modifications of the initial testing method. The final conclusions about the reasons for the incorrect operation of interprocessor communications were made, and recommendations were given to improve the high-speed communications signals attenuation parameters and the level of their interference immunity. The relevance of this study for the production of modern high-performance computing systems can be traced not only in the growing interest of designers to this problem, but also in tightening of the requirements of the physical layers manufacturers.
