Single-Cycle Multihop Asynchronous Repeated Traversal: A SMART Future for Reconfigurable On-Chip Networks.

Future scalability for kilo-core architectures requires solutions beyond the capabilities of protocol and software design. Single-cycle multihop asynchronous repeated traversal (SMART) creates virtual single-cycle paths across the shared network between cores, potentially offering significant reduct...

Description
Summary:	Future scalability for kilo-core architectures requires solutions beyond the capabilities of protocol and software design. Single-cycle multihop asynchronous repeated traversal (SMART) creates virtual single-cycle paths across the shared network between cores, potentially offering significant reductions in runtime latency and energy expenditure.
