Introducing the SuperGT network-on-chip
Théodore Marescaux, Henk Corporaal · Proceedings - ACM IEEE Design Automation Conference · 2007
Predictability of multi-processor systems-on-chip communication is critical and needs to be addressed by providing the right mix of soft and hard real-time guarantees. To this end, state-of-the-art packet-switched networks-on-chip (NoC) provide different levels of quality-of-service (QoS) such as best effort (BE) and guaranteed throughput (GT). Unfortunately, GT resources have to be reserved for the worst-case, resulting in over-allocated resources.
