Fast Analysis Using Finite Queuing Model for Multilayer NoCs

Editor’s notes: This article introduces a performance analysis technique that accounts for interlayer dependencies in multilayer Networks-on-Chip (NoCs). This technique is based on estimating queuing delays and blocking probabilities between layers. —Mahdi Nikdast, Colorado State University, USA —Miquel Moreto, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain —Masoumeh (Azin) Ebrahimi, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden —Sujay Deb, IIIT Delhi, India
