Abstract

A method is proposed to reduce the hardware costs of networks-on-chip (NoC) with link aggregation by uneven distribution the number of physical links in aggregated logical connections.  Created application-specific NoC, hardware cost of which is more than two times lower (by 65%), and the maximum operating frequency is by 41% higher than that of the network with homogeneous architecture. As a result of simulation in ModelSim investigated the transport latencies of the proposed solution
