SWIFT: A Low-Power Network-On-Chip Implementing the Token Flow Control Router Architecture With Swing-Reduced Interconnects

A 64-bit, 8 × 8 mesh network-on-chip (NoC) is presented that uses both new architectural and circuit design techniques to improve on-chip network energy-efficiency, latency, and throughput. First, we propose token flow control, which enables bypassing of flit buffering in routers, thereby reducing b...
