Systems-on-Chip (SoC) are evolving toward complex heterogeneous multiprocessors made of many predesigned macrocells or subsystems with application-specific interconnections. Intra-chip interconnects are thus becoming one of the central elements of SoC design and pose conflicting goals in terms of lo...
