The Achronix Integrated 2D NoC Enables High-Bandwidth Designs (WP028)

Devices aimed at addressing modern algorithm acceleration workloads must be able to efficiently move high-bandwidth data streams between high-speed interfaces and throughout the device. Achronix Speedster®7t FPGAs can process these high-bandwidth data streams via an integrated new and highly innovative two-dimensional network on chip (2D NoC). This white paper discusses two methods of implementing a 2D NoC and presents an example design to show how the Achronix 2D NoC improves performance, reduces area, and reduces design time when compared to a soft 2D NoC implementation.
