Abstract:
A network-on-chip and a corresponding method are provided. The network-on-chip includes at least one bufferless ring network in at least one dimension of the network-on-chip. At least one bufferless ring network includes multiple routing nodes, and at least one of the multiple routing nodes is a switching node. Two bufferless ring networks in different dimensions may intersect. The two bufferless ring networks exchange data by using switching nodes. A dedicated slot and a public slot are configured in each bufferless ring network. Only one switching node has permission to use a dedicated slot at a same moment in each bufferless ring network, the permission to use the dedicated slot is transferred successively between switching nodes in each bufferless ring network. The permission to use the dedicated slot is transferred after transmission of data in the dedicated slot is completed.

Claim (Index 11):
A data transmission method, comprising:\n determining, by a first switching node, whether the first switching node has a permission to use a dedicated slot of a first bufferless ring network in which the first switching node is located, wherein the first bufferless ring network comprises multiple routing nodes, the multiple routing nodes in the first bufferless ring network are connected in series into a ring shape, at least one of the multiple routing nodes in the first bufferless ring network is a switching node, and the at least one switching node comprises the first switching node; wherein the first bufferless ring network comprises N slots configured to carry data in the first bufferless ring network, the first bufferless ring network further comprises N routing nodes in the first bufferless ring network, each slot is cyclically transmitted in the first bufferless ring network, there is only one slot at a routing node at a same moment, the N slots comprise M dedicated slots and N\u2212M public slots, M is a positive integer, and N>M\u22651; and only one switching node has the permission to use the dedicated slot at a same moment in the first bufferless ring network, the permission to use the dedicated slot is transferred successively between switching nodes in the first bufferless ring network, and the permission to use the dedicated slot is transferred after transmission of data in the dedicated slot is completed; determining, by the first switching node, whether the dedicated slot arrives at the first switching node; and when the first switching node has the permission to use the dedicated slot of the first bufferless ring network, the dedicated slot of the first bufferless ring network arrives at the first switching node, and a second switching node that is in a second bufferless ring network and that is connected to the first switching node has data that needs to be transmitted to the first bufferless ring network, obtaining, by the first switching node, the data of the second switching node, and using the dedicated slot of the first bufferless ring network for transmission, wherein the first bufferless ring network and the second bufferless ring network intersect in a network-on-chip, and the first bufferless ring network and the second bufferless ring network are in different dimensions.
