Efficient Queue-Balancing Switch for FPGAs

This paper presents a novel FPGA-based switch design that achieves high algorithmic performance and an efficient FPGA implementation. Crossbar switches based on virtual output queues (VOQs) and variations have been rather popular for implementing switches on FPGAs, with applications to network-on-chip (NoC) routers and network switches. The efficiency of VOQs is well-documented on ASICs, though we...
