Abstract

Embodiments herein describe a NoC where its internal switches have buffers with pods that can be assigned to different virtual channels. A subset of the pods in a buffer can be grouped together to form a VC. In this manner, different pod groups in a buffer can be assigned to different VCs (or to different types of NoC data units), where VCs that transmit wider data units can be assigned more pods than VCs that transmit narrower data units.
