Optical network-on-chip (ONoC) can be used as the communication backbone for high performance chip multiprocessors (CMPs). Fat tree based ONoC shows high throughput, small delay and low power consumption. However, the traditional floorplan design of fat tree based ONoC has a large number of waveguid...
