SMART, a recently proposed dynamically reconfigurable NoC, enables single-cycle long-distance communication by building single-bypass paths. However, such a single-cycle single-bypass path will be broken when contention occurs. Thus, lower-priority packets will be buffered at intermediate routers wi...
