Networks on Chips

It is meant to be a short introduction to a new paradigm for networks on chip(NOC) design.We refer the interested reader to an extended overview of this problem and to some recent results in this area in industry and academia.The premises are that a component-based design methodology will prevail in the future,to support component re-use in a plug-and-play fashion.At the same time,NOC will have to provide a functionally-correct,reliable operation of the interacting components.The physical interconnections on chip will be a limiting factor for performance and energy consumption.
