Hybridization of Honeycomb Topology to Enhance Cost of Interconnection Networks


Abstract in English

Rectangular mesh and torus are the mostly used topologies in network-on-chip (NoC) based systems. In this paper، we quantitatively illustrate that the honeycomb topology is an advantageous design alternative in terms of network cost which is one of the most important parameters that reflects both network performance and implementation cost.
