Chapter 11

Conclusions and future work

Abstract

This chapter first summarizes the content of this book: on the basis of the communication-centric cross-layer optimization method, the book explores the network-on-chip design space in a bottom-up, coherent, and uniform fashion, from low-level router, buffer, and topology implementations, to network-level routing and flow control designs, to co-optimizations of the network-on-chip and high-level programming paradigms. Then, we discuss promising research directions for future work.
