As demand for bandwidth increases in systems-on-a-chip and chip multiprocessors, networks are fast replacing buses and dedicated wires as the pervasive interconnect fabric for on-...
—In this paper, we examine the design process of a Network on-Chip (NoC) for a high-end commercial System onChip (SoC) application. We present several design choices and focus on...

On-chip networks are critical to the scaling of future multicore processors. The challenge for on-chip network is to reduce the cost including power consumption and area while pro...
As the line rates standards are changing frequently to provide higher bit rates, the routers design has become very challenging due to the need for new wire-speed router’s netwo...
