Recmin: A Reconfiguration Architecture For Network On Chip

RecMIN (Reconfigurable Multi-Interconnection Network) is a new network architecture that reduces inefficiency and increases the throughput of the network. With reconfiguration, the network topology adapts itself to traffic. Like FPGA topology, the proposed RecMIN topology consists of dynamically reconfigurable cells. The reconfiguration of each cell can possibly be done in one clock cycle, and the reconfiguration of each cell is independent. The architecture can be easily expanded to utilize reconfigurable cells together with non-reconfigurable network structures. The number of network inputs and outputs does not affect the viability of the architecture.
