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...

Abstract— Deep submicron technology scaling has two major ramifications on the design process. First, reduced feature size significantly increases wire delay, thus resulting in...
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-...
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...
This paper introduces the Quarc NoC, a novel NoC architecture inspired by the Spidergon NoC [16]. The Quarc scheme significantly outperforms the Spidergon NoC through balancing t...
