Future high-performance billion-transistor processors are likely to employ partitioned architectures to achieve high clock speeds, high parallelism, low design complexity, and low...
— Microarchitecturally integrated on-chip networks, or micronets, are candidates to replace busses for processor component interconnect in future processor designs. For micronets...

Until very recently, microprocessor designs were computation-centric. On-chip communication was frequently ignored. This was because of fast, single-cycle on-chip communication. T...
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...
