A brief about System On Chip, and recent development of a new approach to System On Chip, that is Network On Chip(NOC) is given. Here discussion about the NOC methodology, design, Area and performance compared to traditional architecture based on fixed connectivity is made. Finally discussion on the Nostrum Concept is done, along with the advantages of Network On Chip and future scope.
