In this paper the focus is on a family of Interconnection Networks (INs) known as Multistage
Interconnection Networks (MINs). When it is exploited in Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture designs,
smaller circuit area, lower power consumption, less junctions and broader bandwidth can be achieved.
Each MIN can be considered as an alternative for an NoC architecture design for its simple topology and
easy scalability with low degree. This paper includes two major contributions. First, it compares the
performance of seven prominent MINs (i.e. Omega, Butterfly, Flattened Butterfly, Flattened Baseline,
Generalized Cube, Beneš and Clos networks) based on 45nm-CMOS technology and under different types
of Synthetic and Trace-driven workloads. Second, a network called Meta-Flattened Network (MFN), was
introduced that can decrease the blocking probability by means of reduction the number of hops and
increase the intermediate paths between stages. This is also led into significant decrease in power
consumption.
