Abstract
Abstract—Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) have been recently proposed to replace global interconnects in order to alleviate complex communication problems. While several research problems concerning NoC design have been already addressed in the literature, many others remain to be solved. In this work, we first provide a general description of NoC architectures and applications. Then, we enumerate several related research problems organized under five main categories: Application characterization, communication paradigm, communication infrastructure, analysis and solution evaluation. Motivation, problem formulation, proposed approaches and open issues are discussed for each problem enumerated in the paper from circuit, micro-architecture and systemlevel perspectives. Finally, we address the interactions among these research problems and put the NoC design process into perspective. Index terms — On-chip communication architecture, networks-onchip, multiprocessor system-on-chip, CMP. I.
