Abstract: For the different communication cases of specific network on chip (NOC) applications, a customized arbitral priority NOC router is proposed. This router uses the arbitral mechanism based on lottery algorithm instead of the round robin (RR) algorithm, which is widely used in the arbiter of current NOC routers. The arbitral priority of lottery router can be customized by users according to the communication cases among IPs in NOC. This router also includes a time unit multiplex (TUM) transmission mechanism to alleviate the problem of internal block, which may be induced by the case of several input ports competing for one output port. The TUM mechanism guarantees the number of input data is equal to the number of output data and improves the router processing performance.
