A novel highly adaptive routing for networks-on-chip

The degree of adaptiveness has a major impact on the performance of an adaptive routing method. This research work presents a novel turn model based routing method that provides a high degree of adaptiveness for 2D mesh. The result is that the proposed method reduces restrictions on the routing turns significantly and hence can provide path diversity using additional routes (both minimal and non-minimal). Experimental results show that the proposed method provides better performance (average latency and throughput) in comparison with the recent routing methods.
