Bio-inspired network on chip having both guaranteed throughput and best effort services using fault-tolerant algorithm

Network-on-chip (NoC) is a communication framework for multiple cores connected together in a system-on-chip (SoC). Different NoC architectures have provided quality of service (QoS) parameters of best effort (BE) and guaranteed throughput (GT). GT services are provided by having a dedicated connect...

Hamid, N.H. Network-on-chip (NoC) is a communication framework for multiple cores connected together in a system-on-chip (SoC). Different NoC architectures have provided quality of service (QoS) parameters of best effort (BE) and guaranteed throughput (GT).

Faults in the NoC arise as the size of the devices are shrinking on the NoC, which include the router, links, and processing elements (PEs), to accommodate the complex communication requirements of applications.
