Evaluation of deflection routing on various NoC topologies

In this paper, we propose two novel deflection routing algorithms for de Bruijn and Spidergon NoCs and evaluate the performance of the deflection routing on 5 NoC topologies with different synthetic traffic patterns. We also synthesize the routers in various NoC topologies with TSMC 65nm technology. The evaluation results illustrate that the performance of deflection routing is susceptible to the network topology and traffic pattern. The results can also guide the NoC architect to choose the suitable NoC topology for the specific application.
