Abstract :
This paper proposes a network-on-chip architecture that offers high flexibility and performance. It is used in a system-on-chip platform for future multimedia mobile devices. The network is packet switching wormhole network with virtual-channel flow control and source routing. The initial implementation results for a network router show its feasibility and size comparable with other available solutions.
