Eight Benefits of Using an FPGA with an On-chip High-Speed Network (WP020)

Since the initial introduction of FPGAs decades ago, each new architecture has continued to employ a bit-wise routing structure. While this approach has been successful, the rise of high-speed communication standards has required ever increasing on-chip bus widths to be able to support these new data rates. Achronix's solution was to create a revolutionary 2D high-speed network on chip (NoC) on top of the traditional segmented FPGA routing structure for its new Speedster7t FPGA family.
