Torus结构的芯片上光互连网络损耗分析和优化

基于硅基波导、十字状波导交叉和基于波导微环的光交换器件的损耗特性,对 Torus结构的芯片上光互连网络建立了损耗模型,利用该模型来对芯片上光互连网络进行光器件级、光路由器级和网络级的损耗特性分析,同时建立芯片上光互连网络损耗自动分析系统。依据该系统可以得到不同网络规模下的最大损耗,并分别分析了基于crossbar、cygnus和crux路由器的torus结构网络的损耗特性。可以得到,传输损耗随着网络规模的扩展而增加,最小的传输损耗出现在M=N时。同时,可以得到采用Crux路由器构成的芯片上光互连网络的传输损耗最小,小于Cygnus构成的芯片上光互连网络约5dB。     

New Path‐Setup Method for Optical Network‐on‐Chip

With high bandwidth, low interference, and low power consumption, optical network‐on‐chip (ONoC) has emerged as a highly efficient interconnection for the future generation of multicore system on chips. In this paper, we propose a new path‐setup method for ONoC to mitigate contentions, such as packets, by recycling the setup packet halfway to the destination. A new, strictly non‐blocking optical router is designed to support the new method. The simulation results show the new path‐setup method increases the throughput by 52.03%, 41.94%, and 36.47% under uniform, hotspot‐I, and hotspot‐II traffic patterns, respectively. The end‐to‐end delay performance is also improved.     

片上光网络:一种新型片上互连网络

随着单个芯片上集成的处理器的个数越来越多,传统的电互连网络已经无法满足对互连网络性能的需求,需要一种新的互连方式,因此光互连网络技术应运而生.目前,电互连的片上网络在功耗、性能、带宽、延迟等方面遇到了瓶颈,而光互连作为一种新的互连方式引用到片上网络具有低损耗、高吞吐率、低延迟等无可比拟的优势.本文主要探讨了片上光网络的...
