Abstract:While the regular 2-D mesh topology has been utilized for most of Network-on-Chips (NoCs) on FPGAs, spatially biased traffic in some applications make some customization method feasible. A link removal strategy that customizes the router in NoC is proposed for reconfigurable systems in order to minimize required hardware amount. Based on the pre-analyzed traffic information, links on which the communication amount is small are removed to reduce the hardware cost with enough performance being kept. Two policies… Show more
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.
