Network-on-Chip (NoC) is proposed as a new scalable architecture to address the future design challenges of system-ona-chip (SoC). As current verification techniques for on-chip communication algorithms are typically complicated tasks including many hardware modules and software routines, verifying the algorithms themselves is almost impossible. Having the incentive for simplifying verification...

This section introduces basic switching techniques used within the routers of multiprocessor interconnection networks. Switching techniques determine when and how messages are forwarded through the network. These techniques determine the granularity and timing with which resources such as buffers and switch ports are requested and released and consequently determine the blocking behavior of rou...

In this paper a new sinusoidal PWM inverter suitable for use with power MOSFETs is described. . The output waveforms in the proposed PWM inverter are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The fundamental component of the three-phase line-to-line voltage is increased by about 15 percent above than that of the conventional sine-wave inverter. The sinusoidal PWM switching scheme allo...

Optical Packet Switching (OPS) and Optical Burst Switching (OBS) are optical networking concepts based on fully exploiting fast dynamic allocation of (D)WDM channels. Compared to more static approaches focussing on providing end-toend optical channels, OPS and OBS aim at providing greater bandwidth efficiency, granularity and flexibility. In this paper we give an overview of the issues arising ...

Optical burst switching (OBS) technology is a promising solution for reducing the gap between transmission and switching speeds in future networks. This paper addresses the burst contention resolving mechanism and problem of routing optimization in optical burst switching (OBS) networks. Here, we will discuss the various contentions resolving techniques and focus on one main technique, known as...

In the past decade, because of wide applications of hybrid systems, many researchers have considered modeling and control of these systems. Since switching systems constitute an important class of hybrid systems, in this paper a method for optimal control of linear switching systems is described. The method is also applied on the two-tank system which is a much appropriate system to analyze dif...

Abstract As the switching speeds and densities of Digital CMOS integrated circuits continue to increase, output switching noise becomes more of a problem. This paper reports a novel design technique which aids in the reduction of switching noise. The output driver stage is analyzed through the use of an equivalent RLC circuit. The results of the analysis are used in the design of an output driv...
