Spidergon: a novel on-chip communication network

Abstract: The SoC (System on Chip) design demands for novel architectural and circuital solutions to cope with the global wires issue, pushing the on-chip communication as a crucial and precious resource. In the context of the communication centric paradigm and according to a layered based design, it is foreseen that current on-chip shared bus will be, at least partially, replaced by a micronetwork interconnection implementing a flexible packetbased communication [l]. We state that the availability of an efficient on-ch… Show more

“…We then pose the same problem where the communication channels are considered as additional resources occupied for durations proportional to the amount of transmitted data, thus incorporating data locality considerations. In this setting we can solve problems with 15-20 tasks on a spidergon topology [10] with up to 8 processors. Finally we formulate a periodic extension of the problem where task instances arrive every ω time units and must be finished within a relative deadline δ > ω.…”

“…In this section, three different NoC topologies have been considered from the energy/delay perspective: ring, spidergon [23] and mesh. For the exploration, the memory-intensive Matrix benchmark has been executed by the target architecture by varying the number of distributed memory modules from 1 to 3 (corresponding to 13-to 15-node topologies).…”
