Abstract

See full text

A method for generating headers in packetized protocols for a flexible routing network for a Network on a Chip (NoC) architecture includes generating packets based on transmission traffic received from an initiator or a target connected to a routing network that connects disparate initiators and targets. Logic to generate the packets is in an interface located between the initiator or the target and the routing network. A header portion of a packet is variable in length and includes a header payload and header control information. Each of the header portion and the body portion includes one or more standard sized transmission units. The size of the transmission units and width of the header payload are determined by logic included in the interface. The width of the header payload is determined based on orthogonal groups with each of the orthogonal groups being associated with targets sharing an initiator thread.
