Abstract

Network on chips (NoC) have emerged as a feasible solution to handle growing number of communicating components on a single chip. The scalability of chips however increases the probability of errors, hence making reliability a major issue in scaling chips. We hereby propose a comprehensive fault tolerant mechanism for packet based NoCs to deal with packet losses or corruption due to transient faults as well as a dynamic routing mechanism to deal with permanent link and/or router failure on-chip.
