ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Network on a chip

Network on a Chip (NoC) is like a small network of computers connected in one chip. It's like a tiny city on top of a computer chip, where all these tiny computers inside the chip talk to each other, like in a real city. The tiny computers inside the chip can do different tasks and each time the chip needs to do something, it sends a message to the tiny computers in the Network on a Chip so the tiny computers can do their tasks. It's like a city where all the people work together to get something done- all the tiny computers in the Network on a Chip work together to make something happen.
