The router is associated to a DMA (Direct Memory Access) module. DMA enables both hardware packet injection from local node memory into the network, and symmetrically, hardware packet rejection from the network into local node memory. Packet headers are automatically added and removed by the DMA hardware module. The router uses a wormhole routing technique using buffers that enable to handle a small part of a packet. We have chosen this routing technique in order to minimize communication latency.

More information will be posted regarding the IP (VHDL code, Datasheet, TestBench,..).
