High throughput butterfly fat tree (HTBFT) architecture to achieve high performance networks on chip (NoC) is proposed. The architecture increases the throughput of the network by 38% while preserving the average latency. The area of HTBFT switch is decreased by 18% as compared to butterfly fat tree switch. The total metal resources required to implement HTBFT design is increased by 5% as compared to the total metal resources required to implement BFT design. The extra power consumption required to achieve the proposed architecture is 3% of the total power consumption of the BFT architecture.
