As continuing scaling of Moore¡¯s law enables ever greater transistor densities, design complexity, power limitations and application convergence networks have started to replace busses in much smaller systems and the enhancement of NoC. This paper summarizes the advantages of the NoC and the limitations of traditional bus based architecture. In this paper we discuss a detailed comparison of area, power, scalability andperformance of traditional busses in comparison with NoC. %K Networks on Chips %K Systems on Chips. %U http://www.ijest.info/docs/IJEST12-04-04-040.pdf
