QNoC Asynchronous Router with Dynamic Virtual Channel Allocation
Rostislav Reuven Dobkin, Ran Ginosar, Israel Cidon · 2007
An asynchronous router for quality-of service NoC is presented. It combines multiple service levels (SL) with multiple equal-priority virtual channels (VC) within each level. The VCs are assigned dynamically per each link A different number of VCs may be assigned to each SL and per each link The router employs fast arbitration schemes to minimize latency
