Bufferless, deflection-routed, Butterfly Fat Trees (BFTs) can outperform state-of-the-art FPGAs overlay NoCs such as Hoplite by as much as 2–5× on throughput and ≈5× on worst-case latency at identical PE counts, and by ≈1.5× on throughput at identical resource costs >16K LUTs for statistical traffic patterns. In this paper, we show how to modify the tree connectivity and routing function to support...
Deflection-routed FPGA overlay NoCs such as Hoplite suffer from high worst-case routing latencies due to the penalty of deflections at large system sizes. Segmentation of communication channels in such NoCs can (1) reduce worst-case packet routing latencies for FPGA traffic, (2) enable efficient composition of multi-application NoC workloads, and (3) ease the burden of supporting Partial Reconfiguration...
We can enhance the performance and efficiency of deflection-routed FPGA overlay NoCs by exploiting the cascading featureof the Xilinx UltraScale BlockRAMs. This allows us to (1) hardenthe multiplexers in the NoC switch crossbars, and (2) efficientlyadd buffering support to deflection-routing. While buffering isnot required for correct operation of a deflection routed NoC, it can boost network throughputs...
Reducing worst case routing latencies while delivering high throughput and low energy are key design concerns in the engineering of overlay packet-switched NoCs for FPGA fabrics. Deflection routed torus NoCs are known to map particularly well to modern wire-rich FPGA substrates with fracturable LUT organizations while delivering high sustained bandwidths for various workloads and traffic patterns...
We can embed the crossbar functionality of NoC (network-on-chip) routers onto the hard multiplexers of Xilinx DSP48E primitives to support resource efficient mapping of FPGA overlay NoCs. This embedding also permits the use of dedicated hard wiring resources of the DSP cascade links to support vertical NoC channels. This unique mapping allows us to significantly reduce soft logic (LUTs+FFs) utilization...
We can improve the performance of deflection-routed FPGA overlay networks-on-chip (NoCs) like Hoplite by as much as 10× (random traffic) at the expense of modest extra storage cost when combining static scheduling with packet switching in an efficient, hybrid manner. Deflection routed bufferless NoCs such as Hoplite, allow extremely lightweight packet switched routers on FPGAs, but suffer from high...
