EXPRESS VIRTUAL CHANNELS IN A PACKET SWITCHED ON-CHIP INTERCONNECTION NETWORK

摘要

A method, router node, and set of instructions for using express virtual channels in a component network on a chip are disclosed. An input link 302 may receive an express flow control unit from a source node 102 in a packet-switched network via an express virtual channel 110. An output link 306 may send the express flow control unit to a sink node 106. A switch allocator 322 may forward the express flow control unit directly to the output link 306.
