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:
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
“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)
