The Nostrum backbone-a communication protocol stack for Networks on Chip

A Simple Clockless Network-on-Chip for a Commercial Audio DSP Chip

“…It also indicates that for small applications, a feature rich NoC [11,4,3,7] takes up too much area and uses too much power. We believe there are a large number of current, and future, applications for which a simple NoC is a feasible solution.…”

“…This leads to fairly large and feature rich NoCs, providing large amount of bandwidth and advanced Quality-of-Service (QoS) features. Examples of such NoCs are Nostrum [11], Mango [4], XPipes [3] and AEthereal [7]. While a lot of research has been done, to our knowledge there has not been many demonstrations of NoCs in real applications.…”

Quarc: A Novel Network-On-Chip Architecture

“…Nostrum [18], AEthereal [9], and Xpipes [17] are some examples of architectures used for on-chip networks. The Spidergon NoC [16] is also one of the ring-based architectures proposed recently.…”
