Abstract

The implementation of a high-performance network-on-chip (NoC) requires an efficient design for the network interface unit (NIU) that connects the switched network to the IP cores. In this paper, we present a novel NIU architecture that utilizes a Gray code based packet reordering methodology to achieve low latency packet processing. The proposed architecture has been implemented with VHDL and synthesized using a 0.25 μm ASIC technology. Simulation results verify the functionality of the architecture and show that it can save a substantial amount of packet processing time compared to the conventional reordering scheme.
