Abstract
An embodiment of a segmented directional torus network on a chip (NOC) is disclosed. The provision of shortcut routers within directional torus rings achieves shorter ring segments, reducing message delivery latency and increasing NOC bandwidth. A shortcut router may be efficiently technology mapped into fracturable FPGA lookup tables.
