A study on the implementation of 2-D mesh-based networks-on-chip in the nanometre regime

• On-chip packet-switched networks have been proposed for future giga-scale integration in the nanometre regime. This paper examines likely architectures for such networks and considers trade-offs in the layout, performance, and power consumption based on full-swing, voltage-mode CMOS signalling. A study is carried out for a future technology with parameters as predicted by the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors to yield a quantitative comparison of the performance and power trade-off for the network. Important physical level issues are discussed.
