Saraswathi Venugopal, Arokiasamy Arulanandasamy, R. Ramachandran . Efficient Router Architecture design on FPGA for Torus based Network on Chip. International Journal of Computer Applications. 55, 14 ( October 2012), 30-35. DOI=10.5120/8824-2869
Network-on-Chip (NoC) is an emerging technology for interconnecting multiple cores on a single silicon chip. In NoCs, hardware modules such as CPU cores, memories and I/O controllers are interconnected through a suitable network topology for sharing the data. This paper proposes a Multiprocessor NoC (MPNOC) based on torus network topology using wormhole switching. This NoC architecture consists of heterogeneous processing elements and core interfacing devices. We show that the proposed novel router architecture composed of small crossbar switch with Virtual channel memory requires less logical resources and reduce the routing complexity in wormhole switching in torus which provide high throughput performance evaluation and FPGA implementation of the system results are also given.
