The number of cores present on-chip is increasing rapidly. The on-chip network that connects these cores needs to scale efficiently. The topology of on-chip networks is an importan...
Router microarchitecture plays a central role in the performance of an on-chip network (NoC). Buffers are needed in routers to house incoming flits which cannot be immediately forw...
