A Hybrid Packet/Circuit Router for NoC

Abstract

Under the intensive computing tasks, distributed routing lack of complex high-performance algorithms lead to link congestion. High link congestion rate will seriously degrade the overall performance of the NoC. Considering the variety of the data size of transmission on the NoC (dense/non-dense), this paper presents a hybrid router encapsulated the lumped routing and distributed routing in the same one router. At the same time, the performance of 4x4 Mesh of hybrid routing network show that hybrid routing can improve transmission bandwidth and link success rate effectively.
