Abstract

The advancements in emerging interconnects for Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) brings with it promising solutions to integrate single-hop long-range high-bandwidth on-chip links to achieve enhanced network performance. The use of these lie in the design of modern heterogeneous systems with increasing number of processing blocks, which may include application specific unconventional topologies. In this work, we present a reconfigurable simulation framework that enables evaluation of such complex designs and in the process, introduce a new cost-effective metric based on network utilization and illustrate how it can be exploited to achieve energy efficient NoCs by implementing low power design strategies like Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and power-gating. An experimental setup and evaluation follows for both regular and hybrid topologies under synthetic and application specific traffic. This work will enable quick and detailed evaluation of hybrid topologies. The results achieved clearly establish the cost-effectiveness of the proposed framework.
评估混合noc的节能可重构框架
片上网络(noc)的新兴互连技术的进步带来了有前途的解决方案,可以集成单跳远程高带宽片上链路,以实现增强的网络性能。它们的用途在于设计具有越来越多处理块的现代异构系统,其中可能包括特定于应用程序的非常规拓扑。在这项工作中,我们提出了一个可重构的仿真框架,可以对此类复杂的设计进行评估,并在此过程中引入一种基于网络利用率的新的成本效益指标,并说明如何通过实施低功耗设计策略(如动态电压缩放(DVS)和功率门控)来利用它来实现节能noc。接下来对常规拓扑和混合拓扑在合成流量和特定于应用程序的流量下进行了实验设置和评估。这项工作将能够对混合拓扑进行快速和详细的评估。所取得的成果清楚地确定了拟议框架的成本效益。
