Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for enhancing data communication and computation efficiency in Systems on a Chip (SoC). In one aspect, a system is provided that uses a network on a chip (NOC) to route communications between chip components using a plurality of network interfaces linked by shared data connections. The system may be configured to route communications via multiple virtual channels along the shared connections, with credit restrictions for the channels. Additionally, the system may support mechanisms for maintaining both private and shared credit balances for these virtual channels. Additional aspects are also discussed.
