片上网络(Network on Chip, NoC)作为解决众核芯片互连的主流方案,其性能很大程度上取决于网络的拓扑结构。而网络拓扑结构的效能受到网络路由器的直接影响。因此,基于特定拓扑结构的路由器设计实现具有非常重要的研究意义。因此将XY路由算法应用于路由器节点中,设计了基于2D Mesh拓扑结构、轮询仲裁机制与虫孔交换流控的片上网络路由器,并使用Modelsim对路由器进行了功能验证。实验结果表明,设计的路由器能满足微片数据的处理,能够正确的收发数据包。 相似文献

Many on-chip network circuit and architecture techniques are incompatible with modern design flows, making them unsuitable for use in systems-on-chip. This paper presents a networks-on-chip (NoC) architecture design space exploration method for multi-processor systems-on-chip architecture. The NoC architecture design space is designed with a Layer-Interactive-Building block (LIB) methodology that is divided into three layers: application layer, link/network layer, and physical layer. The suggested LIB design paradigmatic philosophy provides modular building block structure in both hardware and software and the protocols for their interconnection in the three architecture layers. Using LIB the designer can easily select these building blocks to build application-specific NoCs to meet different application requirements such as media, graphic, software radio and communication network applications. The LIB provides the NoC building blocks, architecture interacting systems-on-chip components, the programming models and application mapping strategies. The LIB can be used as a complementary library and tools for future on-chip interconnection network design. 相似文献

A hardwired network-on-chip based on a modified Fat Tree (MFT) topology is proposed as a communication infrastructure for future FPGAs. With extremely simple routing, such an infra structure would greatly enhance the ongoing trend of embedded systems implementation using multi-cores on FPGAs. An efficient H-tree based floor plan that naturally follows the MFT construction methodology was developed. Several instances of the proposed NoC were implemented with various inter-routers links progression schemes combined with very simple router architecture and efficient client network interface (CNI). The performance of all these implementations was evaluated using a cycle-accurate simulator for various combinations of NoC sizes and traffic models. Also a new data transfer circuit for transferring data between clients and NoC operating at different (unrelated) clock frequencies has been developed. Allowing data transfer at one data per cycle, the operation of this circuit has been verified using gate-level simulations for several ratios of NoC/client clock frequencies. 相似文献

Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture has been widely used in many multi-core system designs. To improve the communication efficiency and the bandwidth utilization of NoC for various applications, we firstly propose a table-based algorithm for identifying the dominant flows at runtime. Then a two-layer NoC architecture with an application-driven bandwidth allocation scheme is presented, which is capable of identifying heavy-load dataflows and dynamically reconfiguring point-to-point (P2P) connections to optimize the heavy-load traffic. Experimental results reveal that our design (8 × 8 mesh NoC) achieves 28.5% performance improvement and 25.9% power consumption saving compared to the baseline NoC. 相似文献

Network-on-Chip (NoC) has been proposed to overcome the complex on-chip communication problem of System-on-Chip (SoC) design in deep sub-micron. A complete NoC design contains exploration on both hardware and software architectures. The hardware architecture includes the selection of Processing Elements (PEs) with multiple types and their topology. The software architecture contains allocating tasks to PEs, scheduling of tasks and their communications. To find the best hardware design for the target tasks, both hardware and software architectures need to be considered simultaneously. Previous works on NoC design have concentrated on solving only one or two design parameters at a time. In this paper, we propose a hardware–software co-synthesis algorithm for a heterogeneous NoC architecture. The design goal is to minimize energy consumption while meeting the real-time requirements commonly seen in embedded applications. The proposed algorithm is based on Simulated-Annealing (SA). To compare the solution quality and efficiency of the proposed algorithm, we also implement the branch-and-bound and iterative algorithm to solve the hardware–software co-synthesis problem of a heterogeneous NoC. With the given synthetic task sets, the experimental results show that the proposed SA-based algorithm achieves near-optimal solution in a reasonable time, while the branch-and-bound algorithm takes a very long time to find the optimal solution, and the iterative algorithm fails to achieve good solution quality. When applying the co-synthesis algorithms to a real-world application with PE library that has little variation in PE performance and energy consumption, the iterative algorithm achieves solution quality comparable to that of the proposed SA-based algorithm. 相似文献

Increasing system complexity, energy and device reliability, requirement of modular approach, structured layout, effective spatial reuse of resources, scalability and re-programmability have made network-on-chip (NoC) an obvious interconnection design alternative to the ubiquitous bus based on chip communication architecture in system-on-chip. Designing of a topology and its routing scheme plays a vital role in determining performance of any NoC architecture. In recent years, 3D stacked NoC architecture attracts added interest in NoC design as it offers improved performance and shorter global interconnect. In this paper, we have developed a partially, vertically interconnected 3D topology, namely 3D Recursive Network Topology (3D RNT) and prove that the topology has a Hamiltonian connectedness. We have developed deadlock-free routing algorithm for the 3D RNT topology. Also, we compare the performance of the 3D RNT with partially and fully connected 3D mesh topologies (3D PMT and 3D FMT) by conducting suitable experiments. The experiment results show that there is not much deviation in respect of the performance of the 3D RNT on comparing with 3D PMT and 3D FMT even though a number of vertical links are trimmed down to 75%, which is an encouraging outcome as far as design space is concerned. 相似文献

Networks-on-chip (NoC) is a promising communication architecture for next generation SoC. The size of buffer used in on-chip
routers impacts the silicon area and power consumption of NoC dominantly. It is important to plan the total buffer-size and
each router buffer-allocation carefully for an efficient NoC design. In this paper, we propose two buffer planning algorithms
for application-specific NoC design. More precisely, given the traffic parameters and performance constraints of target application,
the proposed algorithms automatically determine minimal buffer budget and assign the buffer depth for each input channel in
different routers. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithms can significantly reduce total buffer usage
and guarantee the performance requirements.
