Yoo H. Low-Power NoC For High-Performance SoC Design 2008

Textbook in PDF format

Technologists in four different fields are showing great interest today in Network on Chip (NoC): parallel computing researchers, networking researchers, computer- aided design groups, and SoC (System on Chip) designers. Initial and basic research has been performed by parallel computing and networking engineers. CAD researchers have developed the concept and design methods of NoC utilizing previous research in the areas of computing and networking. However, the chip itself is most important, and many high performance chips will be developed by using NoC. In this regard, SoC designers have not had enough information and books to refer to on the NoC so far. In addition, researchers in other areas want to see how their theories are applied to real chip implementation. This book was planned to provide practical know-how and examples about how to use NoC in the design of SoC, explaining the “how to” of NoC design for real SoC to circuit designers
