摘要	Fault tolerance is one of the most dominant issues for NoC systems. PRDT-based interconnection network is constructed by recursively overlaying 2-D diagonal meshes (torus). A PRDT network with two ranks has been proposed for NoC designs. In this paper, we present and compare two deadlockfree fault tolerant routing algorithms for PRDT topology NoC. The first algorithm is an extension of planar adaptive routing algorithm. It routes messages in PRDT networks under individual failures. The second algorithm employs a hierarchical fault model which converts a fault region into a rectangular in shape on different rank of PRDT structure. The proposed hierarchical fault tolerant routing algorithm routes messages under multiple failures. It only uses three extra virtual channels. As a result, a routing message can certainly find a path between any pairs of non-faulty nodes, if the network does not break by fault regions. The result of simulation shows that both of the proposed algorithms are of feasibility of gracefully degraded operation. The hierarchical fault tolerant routing algorithm provides superior performance as compared to the planar fault tolerant routing algorithm in all traffic cases. © 2012 Binary Information Press.; Fault tolerance is one of the most dominant issues for NoC systems.
