Networking Challenges and Prospective Impact of Broadcast-Oriented Wireless Networks-on-Chip

The cost of broadcast has been constraining the design of manycore processors and of the algorithms that run upon them. However, as on-chip RF technologies allow the design of small-footprint and high-bandwidth antennas and transceivers, native low-latency (a few clock cycles) and low-power (a few pJ/bit) broadcast support through wireless communication can be envisaged. In this paper, we analyze the main networking design aspects and challenges...
