“…Theoretically speaking, with respect to Mesh, Topology is more conducive to traffic balance. In [4], there is a performance comparison in traffic balance between 8 Â 8 Torus and Mesh, in which the two topologies both adopt the shortest distance of wormhole routing algorithm. The comparison results show that the traffic in Mesh is mainly concentrated in the central of the topology, while the traffic in Torus distributes balanced.…”

In network-on-chip (NoC), local temperature will make failure occurs if it is too high, thereby reduces the system's reliability. At the same time, unbalanced traffic distribution will produce local hot spots and improve local temperature, which is also easy to cause congestion of the network. In this letter, a novel NoC topology named BTorus for thermal-traffic is proposed. By using bridging form, BTorus connects the edge nodes of the Mesh topology, which is axial symmetry and beneficial to thermal-traffic balance. In addition, a traffic balanced routing algorithm is designed for BTorus, which can distribute more traffic to the edge of the chip and is good to chip's thermal equilibrium and heat dissipation.

“…Different Network-on-Chip architectures like mesh, torus, and hypercube-topologies can be generated, based on this switch. The proposed framework can be used for exploration and optimization of Network-on-Chip architectures, by comparing Network-on-Chip architectures with different topologies and routing algorithms [8]. Multicore platforms are emerging trends in the design of System-on-Chips (SoCs).…”
