Management of communication by on-line routing in new FPGAs with a large amount of logic resourcesand partial reconfigurability is a new challenging problem. A Network-on-Chip (NoC) typically uses packet routing mechanism, which has often unsafe data transfers, and network interface overhead. In this paper, circuit routing for such dynamic NoCs is investigated, and a practical 1-dimensional network with an efficient routing algorithm is proposed and implemented. Also, this concept has been extended to the 2-dimensional case. The implementation results show the low area overhead and high performance of this network.
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.
