Abstract :
In NoCs often several flows are merged into one aggregate flow due to heavy resource sharing. For strengthening formal performance analysis, we propose an improved model for an output flow of a FIFO multiplexer under aggregate scheduling. The model of the aggregate flow is formally proven and can serve as the basis for a stringent worst case delay and buffer analysis.
