Abstract

To obtain the best food source, bees communicate their forage information by waggle dance, which indicates direction, distance, and quality of the food source they found. In this paper we propose a multi-function routing algorithm (BMFR) inspired by bees' foraging behaviors for network-on-chip (NoC). We utilize a bee agent model to exchange the states among nodes. According to these states we establish a probability model to choose the output direction. We analyze the performance of BMFR on uniform traffic pattern. Finally, we compare BMFR with XY routing algorithm on uniform and tornado traffic patterns.
