Remote Control: A Simple Deadlock Avoidance Scheme for Modular Systems-on-Chip

Ever increasing performance demand and shrinking in the transistor size together result in complex and dense packing in large chips. That motivates designers to opt for many small specialized hardware modules in a chip to extract maximum performance benefits with relatively lower complexity and cost. These altogether opens up new directions for heterogeneous modular System-on-Chip (SoC) research, ...
