We present and evaluate a novel switching mechanism called layered switching. Conceptually, the layered switching implements wormhole on top of virtual cut-through switching. To show the feasibility of layered switching, as well as to confirm its advantages, we conducted an RTL implementation study based on a canonical wormhole architecture. Synthesis results show that our strategy suggests negligible...
The designer of a system on a chip (SoC) that connects IP cores through a network on chip (NoC) needs methods to support application performance evaluation. Two key aspects these methods have to address are the generation and evaluation of network traffic. Traffic generation allows injecting packets in the network according to application constraint specifications such as transmission rate and end-to-end...
Networks-on-chip (NoCs) are communication architecture alternatives for complex systems-on-chip (SoCs) designs, due to their high scalability and bandwidth. In this paper, we consider a heterogeneous NoC as an alternative to match performance and energy requirements for dedicated applications. By employing an optimized mix of different routers, a heterogeneous network optimized for latency and energy...
This work addresses the problem of application mapping in networks-on-chip (NoCs). It explores the importance of characterizing network traffic to effectively predict NoC energy consumption. Traffic is seen as an important factor affecting the problem of mapping applications into NoCs having as goal to minimize the total dynamic energy consumption of a complex system-on-a-chip (SoC). Experiments showed...
