Approaching the theoretical limits of a mesh NoC with a 16-node chip prototype in 45nm SOI

In this paper, we present a case study of our chip prototype of a 16-node 4x4 mesh NoC fabricated in 45nm SOI CMOS that aims to simultaneously optimize energy-latency-throughput for unicasts, multicasts and broadcasts. We first define and analyze the theoretical limits of a mesh NoC in latency, thro...
