Using on-chip interconnection networks in place of ad-hoc global wiring structures the top level wires on a chip and facilitates modular design. With this approach, system modules...
Abstract—A Network-on-Chip (NoC) replaces on-chip communication implemented by point-to-point interconnects in a multi-core environment by a set of shared interconnects connected...
This paper presents an architectural study of a scalable system-level interconnection template. We explain why the shared bus, which is today's dominant template, will not me...
Driven by continuing scaling of Moore's law, chip multiprocessors and systems-on-a-chip are expected to grow the core count from dozens today to hundreds in the near future. ...

The two dominant architectural choices for implementing efficient communication fabrics for SoC's have been transaction-based buses and packet-based Networks-onChip (NoC). Bo...
