International audienceCurrently, most of Network on-Chip (NoC) architectures have some limitation in routing decisions. And it makes router nodes overloaded, and sequentially forms deadlock, livelock and congestion. A simple unbuffered router microarchitecture for S-mesh NoC architecture is proposed in this paper. Unbuffered router transforms message without making routing decision. Simulation results showed that S-mesh could get optimal performance in message latency compared with 2D-mesh, Butterfly and Octagon NoC architectures. The Design Compiler synthesis results showed that unbuffered router has obvious advantages on area, and it gets higher operation speed
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
