Abstract
Networks implemented on single integrated circuit chips are important to present and future electronic technology. Different interconnection networks suitable for networks on chips are covered including stars, buses, meshes, torii, fat trees, butterfly fat trees, and octagon topologies. The architecture of nodes and switching alternatives are discussed. Characteristics of common interconnection networks are presented.
