DyML uses a buffer fluidity flow monitor for real-time monitoring the incoming traffic volume. Instead of buffering as many flits as a router can afford, DyML dynamically adjusts the proper number of buffering flits. Accordingly, DyML causes less in-transit packets in the network, thus improves packet latency and mitigates traffic congestion. Experiments indicated that DyML averagely improves the latency performance of a state-of-the-art routing algorithm (Odd-Even) by 25.43% in synthetic traffics and by 0.90% in real traffics. © 2010 IEEE.[SDGs]SDG9Control schemes; Hybrid dynamics; Incoming traffic; Latency performance; Multi-level; Networks on chips; Packet latencies; Real time monitoring; Real traffic; Flow control; Microprocessor chips; Programmable logic controllers; Traffic congestionconference paper10.1109/SOCC.2010.5784670
