UTAR NoC: Adaptive Network on Chip architecture platform

Network-on-Chip (NoC) has been proposed as a solution for the communication challenges of Multi-Processor System-on-chip (MPSoC) design in nanoscale technologies and it has better reusability and scalability. However along with the advantages of any communication parameter follow its disadvantages. Most state-of-the-art NoC architecture and their design flows is optimized for a single application, and no single NoC can provide optimal performance across a wide range of applications. In this research, a reconfigurable and adaptable Network-on-Chip architecture is proposed. Adaptive routing components are designed to enable the router to select a path with less congestion. Parameterize file is designed to enable the NoC to be reconfigured and scalable.
