Résumé

The mesh network-on-chip (MNoC) is the most popular inter-processor communication infrastructures used in modern on-chip systems. Although many routing algorithms have been developed for MNoCs but almost all of them give better performance in cost of more complexity (more virtual channels) and hence extra power consumption. In this paper, we propose a partially adaptive routing algorithm for meshes that requires no virtual channels to ensure deadlock freedom. Simulation experiments show that the proposed method provides good performance while using less power consumption.
