Exploring Honeycomb Interconnection Networks

Mesh topology is commonly used in system on chips. This paper proposes a variant of honeycomb mesh that is inspired by the mesh and the cube topology. The proposed topology 3D honeycomb mesh has high throughput and low latency in comparison to the traditional honeycomb topology. The proposed topology is compared with the existing 2D honeycomb mesh on the three parameters and four traffic patterns. From the results obtained after the execution of the topology it was observed that the latency of the network is reduced by 1.5 times and throughput was doubled by two times in comparison to the honeycomb mesh.
