Abstract

In this paper we present an approach on how executable formal specifications of Network-on-Chip routing schemes can help on deciding efficient placement of processing resources on 3D-integrated systems. We use a routing scheme specified with the B Action Systems formalism and we execute it with the model checking and animating tool ProB in order to obtain traces of operation executions based on different data flow scenarios.
