Abstract
This paper investigates the benefits of a recently proposed communication approach, namely on-chip stochastic communication, and proposes an analytical model for computing its mean hitting time. Towards this end, we model the stochastic communication as a branching process taking place on a finite mesh and estimate the mean number of communication rounds.
