In the past, a priori interconnect prediction, based on Rent’s rule, has been applied mainly for technology evaluation and roadmap applications. These applications do not requir...
This paper presents an improved Tree-based architecture that unifies two unidirectional programmable networks: A predictible downward network based on the Butterfly-FatTree topolo...
