Abstract
Example implementations described herein are directed to a configurable building block, such as a router, for implementation of a Network on Chip (NoC). The router is parameterized by a software layer, which can include the number of virtual channels for a port, the number of ports, the membership information of the virtual channels, clock domain, and so forth. The router may further be configured to implement arbitration techniques and flit processing techniques based on the parameters specified by the software layer.
