Abstract

Modern technologies of integrated circuits allow billions of transistors arranged into a single chip, enabling to implement complex systems, which need a scalable and parallel communication architecture. Network-on-Chip (NoC) is a natural candidate to fulfill such communication requirements, providing high performance when the communication demands are balanced. This work proposes a new static balancing method that uses the application's traffic pattern for NoC latency reduction. This method allows the generation of a deterministic routing algorithm with simplistic implementation and low latency. Experimental results compare four balancing methods, showing the improvement of the proposed static balancing concerning the average NoC latency.
