摘要
Many SoC applications require guaranteed levels of service and performance. Can networks on chips ( NoCs) enable such guarantees? Here, the authors demonstrate that the AEthereal network can. This particular NoC, developed at Philips Research Laboratories, encompasses hardware, a programming model, and a design flow. Read on to find out about the details.
