Decentralized Control of Switching Elements in the Intra-Chip Network-on-Chip Routers

P. 1–4.

Stukach O.

We propose a novel switching element with
decentralized control for communication systems. In the paper
for convenience we have proposed some fragments of the
description of a switching element in the VHDL hardware
description language. Such switching elements can become
part of the switch fabric of NoC technology routers. In our
opinion, the decentralization of the switching elements control
provides the following advantages: distributed arbitration
rather than centralized; flexible balancing of the information
traffic due to the shared use of network buffers for various
routes; packet route diversity for the same sources and
receivers; simplification of port controllers improved
scalability of the intra-chip communication system. In addition,
we guess that NoC communications can find application in IoT
technology, because it combine routing functions with
information processing functions.
