Abstract: To satisfy the increasing communication demands of complex VLSI circuits, Network on Chip (NoC) has been introduced as a new paradigm, where processing and communication can be independently catered by communication infrastructure design. Network on Chip proposes to establish a communication infrastructure for the complex VLSI circuit in such a way that communication between any nodes in the circuit is possible even if the circuit blocks are not directly connected by a direct channel. Each circuit block of the whole circuit can be assumed as an Intellectual Property (IP) which may be a microprocessor, memory or ASIC, etc. In this paper the performance of standard 2D mesh NOC is analyzed for bursty communication traffic for various traffic or topology mapping patterns such as butterfly, transpose etc over a NOC simulation framework. The routing for the NoC is assumed to be XY and OE.
