DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF AN ADAPTIVE NETWORK ON CHIP FOR MULTICORE ARCHITECTURES
Abstract:
Multicore architectures have become a prominent solution to address the increasing demand for higher performance in modern computing systems. These architectures consist of multiple processing cores that work in parallel to execute tasks efficiently. However, as the number of cores increases, managing communication and data transfer between them becomes a critical challenge. Network-on-Chip (NoC) has emerged as a promising solution to overcome this challenge by providing a scalable and efficient communication infrastructure.
This research focuses on the design and evaluation of an adaptive Network-on-Chip (NoC) specifically tailored for multicore architectures. The proposed NoC employs adaptive routing mechanisms to dynamically adapt the routing paths based on the current network and traffic conditions. This adaptability aims to optimize the performance and efficiency of the interconnect while reducing latency and power consumption.
The design process involves several stages, including system-level architecture exploration, network topology selection, router design, and adaptive routing algorithm development. A comprehensive evaluation methodology is developed to assess the performance of the proposed NoC design. The evaluation considers metrics such as latency, throughput, power consumption, and scalability.
To validate the effectiveness of the proposed design, a set of benchmark applications is used to generate a representative workload. The performance of the adaptive NoC is compared against traditional NoC designs and other state-of-the-art routing techniques. The evaluation results demonstrate the advantages of the adaptive NoC in terms of improved performance, reduced latency, and optimized power consumption.
The findings of this research contribute to the field of multicore architectures by providing a novel adaptive NoC design that enhances the overall system performance. The proposed design can be integrated into various multicore systems, such as embedded systems, high-performance computing, and system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The adaptive NoC design addresses the challenges associated with inter-core communication and paves the way for future advancements in multicore architectures.
