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...
The Y-architecture for on-chip interconnect is based on pervasive use of 0-, 120-, and 240-degree oriented semi-global and global wiring. Its use of three uniform directions explo...

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...
Interconnect networks play a critical role in shared memory multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoC) designs. MPSoC performance and power consumption are greatly affected by the pac...
