Survey of Network on Chip Architectures

Network on Chip (NoC) is a communication paradigm for on-chip communication. It has replaced the traditional bus and crossbar interconnection as it has higher bandwidth, modularity, scalability and benefits of resource reuse. This paper presents the detail survey of the NoC architectures being proposed and implemented in last more than a decade. Apart from comparing the NoC architectures on different parameters, detail information is also provided about these parameters of NoC architecture.
