Abstract

The increasing demand of computation capacity has made many-core parallel processing (MPP) a compelling choice for computation-intensive applications. The networks-on-chip (NoC) architecture is an effective way to interconnect dozens of processing cores, while the logic circuits and the actual performance need to be verified in specific platform. We proposed and implemented the MACRON platform to provide verification for complicated applications based on NoC architecture by coordinating the software tool and the hardware devices closely. In MACRON, the virtual output queue with look-ahead routing is proposed to reduce the transmission delay through the NoC router. The heterogeneous processing elements: vector processor core, scalar processor core and accelerator core are designed, thus a thorough 'soft' signal processing can be approached. A real-time 4G wireless communication system based on NoC is demonstrated on this MACRON platform.

基于noc的多核并行处理平台及其在4G通信系统中的应用

随着对计算能力需求的不断增长，多核并行处理(MPP)成为计算密集型应用的一个重要选择。片上网络(NoC)架构是实现数十个处理核心互连的有效方式，但其逻辑电路和实际性能需要在特定平台上进行验证。我们提出并实现了马克龙平台，通过软件工具和硬件设备的紧密配合，为基于NoC架构的复杂应用提供验证。在MACRON中，为了减少通过NoC路由器的传输延迟，提出了具有前瞻性路由的虚拟输出队列。设计了矢量处理器核心、标量处理器核心和加速器核心的异构处理单元，从而实现了彻底的“软”信号处理。在该马克龙平台上演示了基于NoC的实时4G无线通信系统。
