Flow control mechanisms in Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures are critical for fast packet
propagation across the network and for low idling of network resources. Buffer management …

The combination of flit-buffer flow control methods and latency-insensitive protocols is an
effective solution for networks-on-chip (NoC). Since they both rely on backpressure, the two …

Networks-on-Chip (NoC) architectures provide a scalable solution to on-chip communication
problem but the bandwidth offered by NoCs can be utilized efficiently only in presence of …

Network-on-Chips (NoCs) are quickly becoming the standard communication paradigm for
the growing number of cores on the chip. While NoCs can deliver sufficient bandwidth and …

Networks-on-Chip (NoC) communication architectures have emerged recently as a scalable
solution to on-chip communication problems. While the NoC architectures may offer higher …

Run-time communication management in a Network-on-Chip (NoC) is a challenging task.
On one hand, the NoC needs to satisfy the communication requirements (eg throughput) of …

Networks-on-chip (NoCs) were developed to meet the communication requirements of large-
scale systems. The majority of current NoCs spend considerable area and power for router …

In order to meet the ever-increasing design complexity, many future sub-100nm platforms
will be on chip multi-processor systems that require the flexibility and scalability of switched …

When designing a System-on-Chip (SoC) using a Network-on-Chip (NoC), silicon area and
power consumption are two key elements to optimize. A dominant part of the NoC area and …

With the emergence of on-chip networks, the power consumed by router buffers has become
a primary concern. Bufferless flow control addresses this issue by removing router buffers …
