Differentiated service for NoC-based multimedia applications

As communication on-chip evolves toward the global multi-service network, applications with different service requirements have emerged. A key factor is guaranteeing the quality of support services. Differentiated service with double physical planes is seen as the key technology to achieve this goal. It focuses on the control of traffic and on recognizing the need for aspects for the management plan achieved by the bandwidth broker. In this paper, a novel QoS architecture for multimedia application via NoC is proposed. The gains in latency and in resource are possible due to the simplicity of the NoC architecture.
