Network-on-Chip (NoC) is a communication infrastructure for chips consisting too many processing elements. It has been created as a better alternative to classical bus-based communication method and it inherits most of the computer network concepts. When a NoC architecture is designed, the designer should consider performance, cost, fault-tolerance and energy consumption criteria as the chips have limited resources on them. The NoC topology plays an important role to meet the aforementioned criteria of the final network design. For example, a regular topology (such as mesh) might be preferable due to its scalability, fault-tolerance, and reusability for different applications whereas an irregular topology can be favorable due to its huge optimization space for performance, energy, and cost. If we can merge the benefits of these two different topology types, we can have higher chances to meet the required criteria for the applications. Motivated by this observation, in this project, we aim to add reconfigurability to both mesh-based and irregular topology-based NoC designs.
