“…The default value of router parameters used are flit size equal to phit size of 512 bits (L1 cache line size of Itanium 2 processor [5]), 4 VC [3], deadlock detection timer value of 256 cycles ( [6] suggests it to be good number for avoiding false deadlock detection), and deadlock buffer size of 1024 entries (sufficient for explored network sizes). Network size is currently limited to 49 nodes due to Cadence VHDL simulation environment constraints.…”
