Design of Smart Power-Saving Architecture for Network on Chip

Algorithm 1

Channel sign up algorithm.

Sign up Algorithm

Input: and .

(1)   while (flits arrival) do

(2)  if ( is header and is free channel)

(3)  {sign up the channel and select the channel

   to output}

(4)  else if ( is body and = )

(5)  {select the channel to output}

(6)  else if ( is tail and = )

(7)  {clear the channel and select the channel to output;}

(8)  else

(9)  {read back flit to virtual channel}

(10) end while
