Tutorial T7B: Network on Chips - The Journey Overview

This tutorial aims at highlighting the NoC journey from its origins till date. We also aim at giving an insight into the different path choices faced at different times and the preferred paths taken. With the necessary insight into the past and the present of the NoCs, we will dwell on the challenges and solutions being considered around the world. We shall also talk about the direction in which we are heading and the expected road ahead.
