Abstract: | Packet-switched networks-on-chips (NoCs) are efficient communication architectures for future multiprocessors system-on-chip
(MP-SoC) platforms. However the run-time management of their communication, especially flow control from individual intellectual
property (IP) in an NoC which contains large number of IPs, is a challenging task. This paper proposes a state space model
for NoC with state observer controller in its feedback path. It is seen that controlling the input and output flow rates alone
is not sufficient to stabilize the network, but it is also important to monitor the intermediate flow rates from the on-chip
routers. This is possible through a state space model for the NoC. The state observer observes the flow rates from each on-chip
router which are then treated as state space variables. These variables can be controlled by the poles placement in the feedback
controller. The proposed mathematical model can also observe the required intermediate flow rates which cannot be measured
directly (reduced state observer). With these observed states we can attach a state controller. With this controller the network
can be stabilized by controlling the flow rates at the intermediate level. |
