Classification of networks-on-chip in the context of analysis of promising self-organizing routing algorithms

Abstract

This paper contains a detailed analysis of the current state of the network-on-chip (NoC) research field, based on which the authors propose the new NoC classification that is more complete in comparison with previous ones. The state of the domain associated with wireless NoC is investigated, as the transition to these NoCs reduces latency. There is an assumption that routing algorithms from classical network theory may demonstrate high performance. So, in this article, the possibility of the usage of self-organizing algorithms in a wireless NoC is also provided. This approach has a lot of advantages described in the paper. The results of the research can be useful for developers and NoC manufacturers as specific recommendations, algorithms, programs, and models for the organization of the production and technological process.
