MPEG-4 performance analysis for a CDMA network-on-chip
Manho Kim, Daewook Kim, Gerald E. Sobelman · 2005
Realistic traffic patterns for a multi-processor MPEG-4 architecture are used to evaluate the performance of network-on-chip (NoC) implementations. In particular, we study the characteristics for a design that is based on CDMA switching techniques and a star-network topology. The results are compared to those for a more conventional mesh-topology NoC. We evaluate metrics for bandwidth requirements, latency and area overhead and show that the CDMA star design is a good candidate for the implementation of these systems.
