An energy-efficient Network-on-Chip for a heterogeneous tiled reconfigurable System-on-Chip

摘要

This paper proposes a Network-on-Chip architecture that offers high flexibility and performance. It is used in a System-on-Chip platform for future multimedia mobile devices. The network is packet switching wormhole network with virtual-channel flow control and source routing. The initial implementation results for a network router show its feasibility and size comparable with other available solutions.
