HNoCS: Modular Open-Source Simulator for Heterogeneous NoCs

·         HNoCS is an open-source implementation of a NoC simulation framework using OMNeT++. The simulator supports heterogeneous NoC configuration in terms of link capacity and number of VCs. HNoCS implements wormhole switching, with round-robin or winner-takes-all arbitration. Current version of HNoCS contains different router implementations: synchronous, asynchronous and a full virtual output queuing (VoQ) with FIFO for each (input VC, output VC and output port tuple). HNoCS can be downloaded from the following link: HNoCS latest release (15.9.11). 

The corresponding paper describing HNOCS is: "HNOCS: Modular Open-Source Simulator for Heterogeneous NoCs" [bibtex]

The project is maintained by me and Eitan Zahavi.
