Abstract
In this paper, we present two important topics indirectly related to the design and simulated
analysis of Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures. In order to enhance the performance of the baseline
router to achieve maximum throughput,a new parallel bu er architecture and its management scheme
are introduced. By adopting an adjustable architecture that integrates a parallel bu er with each incoming
port, the design complexity and its utilization can be optimized. By utilizing simulation-based performance
evaluation and comparison with previous NoC architectures, its eciency and superiority are proven. One
of the key areas of research addressed in this work is to nd more realistic trac models in order to properly
test the bu er management schemes proposed in this work. Therefore, we introduce a generic trac
model for on-chip interconnection networks that is superior to previous techniques for NoC architectural
performance evaluation. Our trac model is based on three empirically-derived statistical characteristics
using temporal and spatial distributions. With captured parameters, accurate trac patterns can be
generated recursively to show similar statistical characteristics of the observed on-chip networks.
