Best Effort Flow Control in Network-on-Chip

Research community has recently witnessed the emergence of Interconnect networks methodology based on Network-on-Chip (NoC). Employing end-to-end congestion control is becoming more imminent in the design process of NoCs. This paper presents a centralized congestion scheme in the presence of both elastic and streaming flow traffic mixture. In this paper, we model the desired BE source rates as the solution to a utility maximization problem while preserving GS traffics services requirements at the desired level. We propose an iterative algorithm as the solution to the maximization problem which has the benefit of low complexity and fast convergence.
