This paper presents the SPIN micro-network that is a generic, scalable interconnect architecture for system on chip. The SPIN architecture relies on packet switching and point-to-...
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...
