Power-efficient partially-adaptive routing in on-chip mesh networks

摘要: The mesh network-on-chip (MNoC) is the most popular inter-processor communication infrastructures used in modern on-chip systems. Although many routing algorithms have been developed for MNoCs but almost all of them give better performance cost more complexity (more virtual channels) and hence extra power consumption. In this paper, we propose a partially adaptive algorithm meshes that requires no channels to ensure deadlock freedom. Simulation experiments show proposed method provides good while using less
