Overview of Network on Chip Architecture
Bharati B. Sayankar · 2011
Network-on-Chip (NoC) has been proposed as an alternative to bus-based schemes to achieve high performance and scalability in System-on-Chip (SoC) design. Performance evaluation of On-Chip Interconnect (OCI) architectures is widely based on simulation which becomes computationally expensive, especially for large-scale NoCs. In this paper, we study the various NOC architectures i.e. Virtual Channel Router Design, Wormhole Router Design, Circuit Switched Router Design.
