A horizontal fat mesh interconnection network

Abstract

The mesh interconnection network is the most popular topology for the network on chip architecture. The horizontal fat mesh topology is designed to keep all the advantages of the mesh topologies prime of which is the almost wire area and the simplicity of the topology. The designed topology also does not have the non-planar links as present in most of the topologies which requires multiple layers. The performance of the topology has been tested on the uniform traffic for the latency, throughput and the power of the network. The topology has shown the improvement of in latency, throughput and power of network.
