摘 要：We proposed a reconfigurable architecture for networks-on-chip (NoCs) on which arbitrary application-specific topologies can be implemented. Since entirely different applications may be executed on a SoC at different times, the on-chip traffic characteristics can vary significantly across different applications. However, almost all existing NoC design flows and the corresponding application-specific optimization methods customize NoCs based on the traffic characteristics of a single application. The reconfigurability of the proposed NoC architecture allows it to dynamically tailor its topology to the traffic pattern of different applications.
