Tiny - optimised 3D mesh NoC for area and latency minimisation

Tiny is a scalable and efficient three-dimensional (3D) network-on-chip (NoC) designed to reduce latency and area. A theoretical analysis demonstrates its efficiency when compared with a basic 3D mesh NoC. Mapping independent traffics with different injection rates makes the trade-offs analysis of Tiny possible. Results highlight that Tiny always reduces area and for several cases minimises latency.
