  3. Abstract:
  4. Many researchers favor the mesh topology as the underlying topology of the communication infrastructure of modern SoCs because of its regularity and layout efficiency. However, variability in size and shape of modules used in systems-on-chip has resulted in the use of irregular meshes for practical NoCs. In this paper, we propose a deadlock free routing algorithm for irregular mesh NoCs. Experimental results confirm that the proposed algorithm exhibits a better performance in terms of message latency and power consumption compared to other known routing algorithms for irregular mesh NoCs
