    LBNoc: Design of low-latency router architecture with lookahead bypass for network-on-chip using FPGA
    (Association for Computing Machinery acmhelp@acm.org, 2020) Parane, K.; Prabhu Prasad, B.M.; Talawar, B.
    An FPGA-based Network-on-Chip (NoC) using a low-latency router with a look-ahead bypass (LBNoC) is discussed in this article. The proposed design targets the optimized area with improved network performance. The techniques such as single-cycle router bypass, adaptive routing module, parallel Virtual Channel (VC), and Switch allocation, combined virtual cut through and wormhole switching, have been employed in the design of the LBNoC router. The LBNoC router is parameterizable with the network topology, traffic patterns, routing algorithms, buffer depth, buffer width, number of VCs, and I/O ports being configurable. A table-based routing algorithm has been employed to support the design of custom topologies. The input buffer modules of NoC router have been mapped on the FPGA Block RAM hard blocks to utilize resources efficiently. The LBNoC architecture consumes 4.5% and 27.1% fewer hardware resources than the ProNoC and CONNECT NoC architectures. The average packet latency of the LBNoC NoC architecture is 30% and 15% lower than the CONNECT and ProNoC architectures. The LBNoC architecture is 1.15× and 1.18× faster than the ProNoC and CONNECT NoC frameworks. © 2020 Association for Computing Machinery.

    RUSH: Rule-Based Scheduling for Low-Latency Serverless Computing
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Birajdar, P.A.; Anchalia, K.; Satpathy, A.; Addya, S.K.
    Serverless computing abstracts server management, enabling developers to focus on application logic while benefiting from automatic scaling and pay-per-use pricing. However, dynamic workloads pose challenges in resource allocation and response time optimization. Response time is a critical performance metric in serverless environments, especially for latency-sensitive applications, where inefficient scheduling can degrade user experience and system efficiency. This paper proposes RUSH (Rule-based Scheduling for Low-Latency Serverless Computing), a lightweight and adaptive scheduling framework designed to reduce cold starts and execution delays. RUSH employs a set of predefined rules that consider system state, resource availability, and timeout thresholds to make proactive, latency-Aware scheduling decisions. We implement and evaluate RUSH on a real-world serverless application that generates emoji meanings. Experimental results demonstrate that RUSH consistently outperforms First-Come-First-Served (FCFS), Random Scheduling, and Profaastinate, achieving ? 33% reduction in average execution time. © IEEE. 2019 IEEE.
