NoC

Abstract: - As innovation shrink, the force scattered by the connections of a network-on-chip (NoC) begins to imitate with the force dispersed by alternate components like as switches and the network interfaces (NIs).In this venture Cartesian switch is outlined keeping in mind the end goal to diminish the force dissipation. Cartesian switch is a composite of gatherer and arterials. A gatherer is a 'horizontal network' connecting authority switches, while a blood vessel is a 'vertical network' that divide gatherers. Authority switches has an east and a west port, connecting the switch to its gatherer, while blood vessel switches have sufficient ports to permit connection to its authorities and its arterials. To guarantee connectivity, a blood vessel is not allowed to diversion a gatherer. Every switch is given a location that indicate its location in Cartesian space (spoke to, for instance, utilizing scope and longitude); inside an authority, all gatherer switches offer common scope. At last we choose that the port transition of double information between the ports are proficient in NOC application for exchange the information rates in effective way and it additionally lessened Area of the switch. At long last the Cartesian switch will be actualized by utilizing FPGA Kit.

ABSTRACT With the significant increase in the number of processing elements in NoC-based MPSoCs, communication becomes, increasingly, a critical resource for performance gains and quality-of-service (QoS) guarantees. The main gap observed in the NoC-based MPSoCs literature is the runtime adaptive techniques to meet QoS. In the absence of such techniques, the system user must statically define, for example, the scheduling policy, communication priorities, and the communication switching mode of applications. The goal of this paper is to investigate the runtime adaptation of the NoC resources, according to the QoS requirements of each application running in the MPSoC. This paper adopts an NoC architecture with duplicated physical channels, adaptive routing, support to flow priorities and simultaneous packet and circuit switching. The monitoring and adaptation management is performed at the operating system level, ensuring QoS to the monitored applications. The QoS acts in the flow priority and the switching mode. Monitoring and QoS adaptation were implemented in software, resulting in flexibility to apply the techniques to other platforms or include other adaptive techniques, as task migration or DVFS. Applications with latency and throughput deadlines run concurrently with best-effort applications. Results with synthetic and real application reduced in average 60% the latency violations, ensuring smaller jitter and throughput. The execution time of applications is not penalized applying the proposed QoS adaptation methods.

As complexity of embedded system increases, configurable hardware is becoming more attractive because it provides a fast and efficient basis for design development. As a consequence, one of the most promising embedded architecture consists in the replication of Processing Elements (PEs) connected through a Network-on-Chip (NoC). Such architectures provide computation parallelism, scalability, and reduced design time thanks to reusability. This paper describes the development of a scalable, distributed memory, open source NoC-based platform called Open-Scale and its implementation into FPGA devices. The main objective of this platform is to provide a complete framework for research development on NoC-based distributed memory MPSoCs.

An efficient Priority-Arbiter based Router is designed along with 2X2 and 3X3 mesh topology based NOC architecture are designed. The Priority-Arbiter based Router design includes Input registers, Priority arbiter, and XY-Routing algorithm. The Priority-Arbiter based Router and NOC 2X2 and 3X3 Router designs are synthesized and implemented using Xilinx ISE Tool and simulated using Modelsim6.5f. The implementation is done by Artix-7 FPGA device, and the physically debugging of the NOC 2X2 Router design is verified using Chipscope pro tool. The performance results are analyzed in terms of the Area (Slices, LUT's), Timing period, and Maximum operating frequency. The comparison of the Priority-Arbiter based Router is made concerning previous similar architecture with improvements.

This paper demonstrates our implementation of a dynamically reconfigurable network on chip router with bus based interface. Our work targets heterogeneous integration of components in NoC architecture and includes modeling of reconfigurable components, processor cores and fixed IPs. The novelty of the proposed NoC lies in its ability to integrate standard non-packet based components thus reducing design time and ease of integration. A system consisting of an ARM processor, reconfigurable FFT, reconfigurable Viterbi decoder, memory controller and peripherals is considered with the option of system scalability for future upgrades. A framework for system level modeling of reconfigurable NoC with reconfigurable components is also proposed and demonstrated in systemC. Results are compared with implementation of the same system with conventional NoC to demonstrate advantages of the proposed NoC architecture.

Study of Network-on-Chip (NoC) systems requires simulators capable of handling their unique characteristics. Toward this objective, a set of simulation models are developed based on NoC first principles and the DEVS framework. The components necessary to build simulation models for NoC are developed using Parallel DEVS and implemented in NoC-DEVS which extends the generalpurpose DEVS-Suite simulator. An example mesh-based NoC model synthesized from processing elements, network interfaces, switches, and links is experimented with and analyzed. The same example is also studied in Noxim which is an extension of the SystemC simulator. The NoC-DEVS simulator is evaluated and compared against the Noxim simulator. The comparison focuses on their modeling capabilities and considers delay and throughput performance metrics as well as capabilities expected from advanced simulation tools. Related and future research directions are briefly discussed. 1

Abstract—Multiprocessor system on chip is a concept that aims at integrating multiple hardware and software in a chip. Multistage interconnection network has been frequently proposed as connection means in classical multiprocessor systems. They are generally accepted concepts in the semiconductor industry for solving the problems related to an on-chip communication. This paper presents the design of reconfigurable Delta MINs in which the connections change dynamically at run time. Using SystemC timed simulations, performance evaluation of a Delta MINs are given and analyzed.

We propose an effective and low cost method to increase the yield and the lifetime of torus NoCs. The method consists in detecting and diagnosing NoC interconnect faults using BIST structures and activating alternative paths for the faulty links. Alternative paths use the inherent redundancy of the torus topology, thus leading to minimal performance, area, and power overhead. We assume

The shortcomings of conventional bus architectures are in terms of scalability and the ever increasing demand of more bandwidth. And also the feature size of sub-micron domain is decreasing making it difficult for bus architectures to fulfill the requirements of modern System on Chip (SoC) systems. Network on chip (NoC) architectures presents a solution to the earlier mentioned shortcomings by employing a packet based network for inter IP communications. A pivotal feature of NoC systems is the topology in which the system is arranged. Several parameters which are topology dependent like hop count, path diversity, degree and other various parameters affect the system performance. We propose a novel topology forNoC architecture which has been thoroughly compared with the existing topologies on the basis of different network parameters.
