Emerging on-chip communication technologies like wireless Networks-on-Chip (WiNoCs)
have been proposed as candidate solutions for addressing the scalability limitations of
conventional multi-hop NoC architectures. In a WiNoC, a subset of network nodes are
equipped with a wireless interface which allows them long-range communication in a single
hop. This paper presents Noxim, an open, configurable, extendible, cycle-accurate NoC

Emerging on-chip communication technologies like wireless Networks-on-Chip (WiNoCs) have been proposed as candidate solutions for addressing the scalability limitations of conventional multi-hop NoC architectures. In a WiNoC, a subset of network nodes are equipped with a wireless interface which allows them long-range communication in a single hop. This paper presents Noxim, an open, configurable, extendible, cycle-accurate NoC simulator developed in SystemC which allows to analyze the performance and power figures of both conventional wired NoC and emerging WiNoC architectures.
