The project is in two parts: A study, which investigates guaranteed service in NoC implementations and an extension of the virtual circuit support in {MANGO}. The study conducted in this project examines seven different NoC implementations - both academic and industrious. The main focus of the study is to investigate the different approaches to guaranteed service. The second part of this project describes the implementation of reconfigurable virtual circuits in {MANGO,} an asynchronous NoC developed in the PhD thesis by Tobias Bjerregaard, at {IMM,} {DTU}. The implementation presented here offers flexible programming of virtual circuits as well as reuse of virtual channels." }
