A multi-path routing method with shared buffer on NoC
Haibin Shen · Journal of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering · 2010
The shared buffer of router architecture could reduce space greatly.Aiming at the traditional router architecture,an architecture that could support multi-path routing was presented.Then,based on the theory of linear programming,a multi-path routing method was presented.Compared with the traditional single-path routing strategy,this new approach can reduce the overall execution time by avoid congestion in network greatly.The results prove that,with multi-path routing method,the total execution time can be reduced with 12%～13% in uniform situation and 22%～23% in hot-spot situation.
