Network-on-Chip: A State-of-the-art Review

Large scale System-on-Chip (SoC) has been enabled by the scaling of microchip technologies. As data intensive applications have emerged and processing power has increased, the threat of the communication components on single-chip systems introduced network on chip (NoC). NoC provides the concept of interachip communication. In this paper a study treats an outstanding concept for system-on-chip communication introduced as communication network on-chip (NoC). This paper includes the NoC basics, network topology, relevant research issues and different abstraction levels.
