4-CORE: A New Idea for Network on Chip

NoC architectures are considered as the next generation of communication infrastructure for future Systemon- Chips. Choosing the network architecture and mapping IPnodes onto the NoC topology are two important research topics. In this paper, we propose a novel NoC architecture called 4-CORE, which is inspired by the Spidergon. We studied the effect of message length on the performance and compared 4- CORE with Spidergon and Mesh Topology. The results indicate the 4-CORE topology relative to mesh and spidergon topologies go to the saturation later and can send more packages.
