What Does Sports and NoC Have in Common?
As an Oakland Raider season ticket holder I attend as many Raider home games as possible. If you have ever attended a live sporting event at a large stadium, and you travelled by car, you are probably familiar with the traffic problems that occur at the end of the game when everyone wants to leave the stadium parking lot at the same time. At most venues you will find law enforcement on hand to control the traffic. On the surface, it seems their role is to help traffic merge more efficiently since there are typically many lanes funneling down to fewer lanes over multiple stages to get through to the exit and/or onto a major highway. You should also understand that they are there to give higher priority to certain vehicles. Police and emergency vehicles have higher priority, followed by perhaps limos and busses, and then the low priority traffic (me in my car). This situation actually looks a lot like the traffic problems in a modern SoC.
