abstract = {The quality of network-on-chip (NoC) designs depends
crucially on the size of buffers in NoC components. While buffers
impose a significant area and power overhead, they are essential for
ensuring high throughput and low latency. In this paper, we present
a new approach for minimizing the cumulative buffer size in on-chip
networks, so as to meet throughput and latency requirements,
given high-level specifications on traffic behavior. Our approach
uses model checking based on satisfiability modulo theories (SMT)
solvers, within an overall counterexample-guided synthesis loop.
We demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique on NoC designs
involving arbitration, credit logic, and virtual channels.},
