The requirements to the model are twofold: It should be timing accurate, which allows it to be used in place of {MANGO,} and it should have a high simulation speed. For these purposes, different approaches to modeling network-on-chip and asynchronous circuits have been investigated. Simulation results indicate a simulation speedup on a magnitude of a factor 1000 over the current implementation of {MANGO,} which is implemented as netlists of standard cells." }
