Title
Scaling towards kilo-core processors with asymmetric high-radix topologies
Abstract
In this paper, we explore the challenges in scaling on-chip networks towards kilo-core processors. Current low-radix topologies optimize for fast local communication, but do not scale well to kilo-core systems because of the large number of routers required. These increase both power and hop count. In contrast, symmetric high-radix topologies optimize for global communication with fewer hop counts, but degrade local communication with their large, slow routers.
