Network on a chip is a paradigm in the design of parallel hardware architecture. It differs from System on a chip (SOC) by featuring generic communication channels between processor elements instead of specialized buses to simplify chip design. Network on a chip systems have the ability to have processing elements operating on different data elements simultaneously without special framework. These characteristics allow better energy-performance characteristics. The Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) is a network on a chip design in production by Sony, Toshiba and IBM (STI). The Cell BE demonstrates these characteristics in a high performance, scalable production architecture.
