<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce latency on a network or to improve throughput in a semiconductor device with NoC (network on chip). <P>SOLUTION: The semiconductor device includes: a plurality of components IP0-IP7 for performing predetermined processing; a plurality of router circuits R0-R7 connected to the components, respectively; a plurality of wirings connecting the router circuits; and a router management unit SOC_NAVI for monitoring in real time whether the plurality of router circuits are enabled or not. For example, R0 holds, for each of R1-R7, single or plural route information determined on a stage of design beforehand, starting from R0 up to R1-R7. When transferring a request to a predetermined component, R0 searches for an optimal route while reflecting information from SOC_NAVI in the route information. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
