We propose a Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) based connection oriented NoC with a novel double time-wheel router architecture combined with a run-time parallel probing setup method. In comparison with traditional TDM connection setup methods, our design has the following advantages: (1) it allocates paths and time slots at run-time; (2) it is fast with predictable and bounded setup latency; (3) it avoids additional resources (no auxiliary network or central processor to find and manage connections); (4) it is fully distributed and therefore it scales nicely with network size. Compared to a packet based setup method, our probe based design can reduce path setup delay by 81% and increase network load by 110% in an 8×8 mesh, while avoiding the auxiliary network. Compared to a centralized method, our solution can double the success rate, while eliminating the central resource for path setup and reducing the wire overhead. Synthesis results suggest that our design is faster and smaller than all comparable solutions. |
