Product Description Networks-on-Chip: From Implementations to Programming Paradigms provides a thorough and bottom-up exploration of the whole NoC design space in a coherent and uniform fashion, from low-level router, buffer and topology implementations, to routing and flow control schemes, to co-optimizations of NoC and high-level programming paradigms. This textbook is intended for an advanced course on computer architecture, suitable for graduate students or senior undergrads who want to specialize in the area of computer architecture and Networks-on-Chip. It is also intended for practitioners in the industry in the area of microprocessor design, especially the many-core processor design with a network-on-chip. Graduates can learn many practical and theoretical lessons from this course, and also can be motivated to delve further into the ideas and designs proposed in this book. Industrial engineers can refer to this book to make practical tradeoffs as well. Graduates and engineers who focus on off-chip network design can also refer to this book to achieve deadlock-free routing algorithm designs. From the Back Cover Networks-on-Chip From Implementation to Programming Paradigms Provides a thorough bottom-up exploration of NoC design Networks-on-Chip: From Implementation to Programming Paradigms provides a thorough bottom-up exploration of the whole NoC (networks-on-chip) design space, from low-level router, buffer and topology implementations, and routing and flow control schemes, to co-optimizations of NoC and high-level programming paradigms. This textbook is intended for use in advanced courses on computer architecture, and is suitable for graduate students and senior undergraduates who want to specialize in the area of computer architecture and NoC. It is also intended for industry practitioners in the area of microprocessor design, especially the many-core processor design architecture using NoC. Those taking a course on NoC using this book, will gain both a practical and theoretical perspective, and can delve further into advanced topics by doing additional reading. Networks-on-Chip is also an excellent reference for industrial engineers looking to make practical tradeoffs. Graduates and engineers focusing on off-chip network design can also refer to this book for deadlock-free routing algorithm designs.
