Modeling of Gaussian Network-Based Reconfigurable Network-on-Chip Designs.

In network on chips (NoCs) design, reconfiguration of NoC is a very effective option for minimizing power consumption, and Gaussian networks can provide significant advantage over the mesh networks in terms of network diameter, average hop distance and so on. In this paper, based on the special topology structure and the static connection rules within Gaussian networks, we present the reconfiguration representation for Gaussian networks and the nature of reconfigurable Gaussian networks. Furthermore, reconfigurable rules of Gaussian networks are proposed to design the constraints for automatic reconfiguration of NoC. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
