Energy and performance evaluation of a dimension order routing algorithm for Mesh-of-Tree based Network-on-Chip architecture

This paper proposes a new dimension order routing algorithm for Mesh-of-Tree based Network-on-Chip design. It simplifies the router design as well. It results in significant saving in the energy consumed by the network. For uniform traffic, the saving is as high as 63%. It offers the flexibility of designing routers of different sizes for mapping of applications.
