Minimum-Energy Routing Core

A tiny RISC-V processor embedded in every router of the fabric — so routing policy is software you can change, and even patch in the field, instead of logic frozen at tape-out.

Where it sits

One tiny core per node.

Per-node routing core Ingressflits in Route corelookup · arbitrate Egressflits out one per NoC node · minimal area · software-defined routes
Small enough to drop into every node of the fabric — routing behavior defined in software, not hard-wired.
Features

Routing as software.

Small

RV32I footprint

Minimal area so it fits in every node of the network-on-chip and fabric processors.

Flexible

Custom policies

Express routing in Python, compile to the core — congestion, QoS, security policies all programmable.

Serviceable

Field-patchable

Update routing behavior in deployed silicon, no respin.
