Network On Chip
Network-on-Chip or Network-on-a-Chip (NoC or NOC) is an approach to designing the communication subsystem between IP cores in a System-on-a-Chip (SoC). NoCs can span synchronous and asynchronous clock domains or use unclocked asynchronous logic. NoC applies networking theory and methods to on-chip communication and brings notable improvements over conventional bus and crossbar interconnections. NoC improves the scalability of SoCs, and the power efficiency of complex SoCs compared to other designs. Research has been done on integrated optical waveguides and devices comprising an Optical Network-on-Chip (ONoC).

Famous quotes containing the words network and/or chip:
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
“Look Johnny, Spig just joined the Navy. I’m married to it. I run the mess hall. I swab the deck. I chip the rust. You’re afraid that they’ll kick Spig out of the Navy. I’m afraid that they won’t.”
—Frank Fenton, William Wister Haines, co-scenarist, and John Ford. Minne Wead (Maureen O’Hara)
