Title
Distributed Congestion Control for Packet Switched Networks on Chip
Abstract
Packet-switched NoCs are efficient communication architectures for future MP-SoC platforms. However the run-time management of their communication, especially congestion avoidance is a challenging task. This paper discusses a distributed HW/SW congestion control technique. Hard- ware modules detect early signs of congestion and traffic is re-shaped accordingly to reduce conges- tion. The shape of the traffic is computed with binomial algorithms running on simple distributed microcontrollers. The hardware and software extensions we propose to our system provide a congestion control solution that proves to be low-latency (100 clock cycles) and has a low area contribution to the router hardware (about 5% in UMC 0.13 technology).
