Hotspots are network-on-chip (NoC) routers or modules in multicore systems which
occasionally receive packetized data from other networked element producers at a rate …

Traffic hotspots, a severe form of network congestion, can be caused unexpectedly in a
network-on-chip (NoC) due to the immanent spatio-temporal unevenness of application …

The conventional two-dimensional (2-D) integrated circuit (IC) has limited scope for floor
planning and therefore limits the performance improvements resulting from the Network-on …

Network-on-chip (NoC) has been proposed as a solution for addressing the design
challenges of future high-performance nanoscale architectures. Thus, it is of crucial …

Network-on-chip (NoC) architecture provides the communication infrastructure for system-on-
chip (SoC) design. The architecture, size, and algorithm dominate the performance of NoC …

The trend toward integrated many-core architectures makes the network-on-chip (NoC)
technology, the on-chip communication infrastructure of choice. However, and as opposed …

End-to-end delay, throughput, energy consumption, and silicon area are the most important
design metrics of networks-on-chip (NoCs). Although several analytical models have been …

The inherent spatio-temporal unevenness of traffic flows in Networks-on-Chips (NoCs) can
cause unforeseen, and in cases, severe forms of congestion, known as hotspots. Hotspots …

In this paper, we characterize the performance of three existing memory management
techniques, namely, buddy, round-robin, and first-touch policies. With existing memory …

Wormhole switching with virtual channels has been widely deployed in high-speed
interconnects at different scales. Its minimal buffer requirements and simple router design …
