Several asynchronous NoC implementations have
been proposed in the literature so far, providing different
properties based on different assumptions and flow control
strategies. Most often they are presented as monolithic solutions,
making it difficult to associate the different implementation
details with the achieved properties, or to identify
interdependencies of choices. The key contribution of this paper
will be to elaborate a generic framework for requirements on
and properties of asynchronous NoCs with virtual channels that
shall allow to isolate specific choices and ease the comparison
between existing solutions.We will demonstrate this by aligning
some of the solutions from the literature to our framework.
To illustrate the usefulness of our scheme we will apply
it for pinpointing a deficiency in an existing protocol and
systematically elaborating a way to fix this issue.
