Routing is one of the most crucial key factors which will decide over the success of NoC architecture based systems or their failure. This paper uses well known principles from parallel computer architecture to develop a deadlock free highly adaptive routing algorithm for a 2D-Mesh based Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture including oversized IP cores. The paper consists of a short introduction into related routing theories and then gives a detailed description of the developed routing scheme. The last part is dedicated to a new floorplanning method, which allows to generate high density layouts suitable for the presented routing algorithm.
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.
