—Regular multi-core processors are appearing in the embedded system market as high performance software programmable solutions. The use of regular interconnect fabrics for them a...
Abstract--In this paper, we study wire width planning for interconnect performance optimization in an interconnect-centric design flow. We first propose some simplified, yet near-o...
The increasing application space of interconnection networks now encompasses several applications, such as packet routing and I/O interconnect, where the throughput of a routing a...
Interconnection networks-on-chip (NOCs) are rapidly replacing other forms of interconnect in chip multiprocessors and system-on-chip designs. Existing interconnection networks use...
A novel high-level approach for estimating power consumption of global interconnects in data-path oriented designs implemented in FPGAs is presented. The methodology is applied to...
