On-chip routing elements are extensively used in complex NoC designs. Faulty operation of such elements due to crosstalk faults or soft errors can severely affect a device's functionality and performance. This article investigates the application of different hardware- and software-based approaches to improving these elements' dependability, and discusses the advantages and drawbacks of these approaches from an energy consumption perspective.
