State of Development
Plans to implement a RF-I NoC prototype chip.
Background
The continued scaling of CMOS devices and the transition to multiple processing cores increases the amount of on-chip interconnects that are required for inter-core communications. Repeated RC wires or RC wire based NoC provide current on-chip communications. However, the RC wires scale poorly and result in increased latency and power consumption.
