CuNoC: A Scalable Dynamic NoC for Dynamically Reconfigurable FPGAs

In this article, we present CuNoC, a new paradigm for intercommunication between modules dynamically placed on a chip for FPGA-based reconfigurable devices. The CuNoC is based on scalable communication unit called CU which allows the simultaneous communication between several processing elements placed on the chip. We present the basic concept of this communication approach, its main advantages and drawbacks with regards to the other main NoC approaches already proposed.
