---|---|---|
Many integrated circuits now consist of multiple processing elements that can be regularly tiled across the two-dimensional surface of a die. A regular grid-based network-on-chip shares resources that simplify communication between components at the cost of increased latency, particularly under congestion. This work reports on several approaches to improve the quality of asynchronous network-on-chip design, applied to arrayed communication networks. First, we investigate the effect of replacing long "wrap" lines of a torus with transmission lines and the advantages that this method contributes to such designs. A method of deadlock free routing on torus networks using virtual channels is proven and implemented in a 65nm technology process. Finally, we evaluate the merits of these designs using a highly accurate Verilog simulation model to generate performance and power results. |
