A Dynamic NoC Approach for Communication in Reconfigurable Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
A concept for solving the communication problem among modules dynamically placed on a reconfigurable device is presented. Based on a dynamic network-on-chip (DyNoC) communication infrastructure, components placed at run-time on a device can mutually communicate. A 4x4 dynamic network-on-chip communication infrastructure prototype, implemented in an FPGA occupies only 7% of the device area and can be clocked at 391 MHz.

DyNoC: A Dynamic Infrastructure for Communication in Dynamically Reconfigurable Devices
A new paradigm to support the communication among modules dynamically placed on a reconfigurable device at run-time is presented. Based on the network on chip (NoC) infrastructure, we developed a dynamic communication infrastructure as well as routing methodologies capable to handle routing in a NoC with obstacles created by dynamically placed components. We prove the unrestricted reachability ...
متن کاملDynamic Reconfigurable NoC (DRNoC) Architecture: Application to Fast NoC Emulation
The aim of this Chapter is to present a highly flexible reconfigurable NoC solution for commercial FPGAs on one side, and on the other side, to provide an innovative approach for fast NoC emulation. The reconfigurable on-chip communication solution that is proposed in this chapter is capable of being reconfigured by means of adapting routers, network interfaces and cores themselves. The main di...
متن کاملCuNoC: A dynamic scalable communication structure for dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs
The growing complexity of integrated circuits imposes to the designers to change and direct the traditional bus-based design concepts towards NoC-based. Networks on chip (NoCs) are emerging as a viable solution to the existing interconnection architectures which are especially characterized by high level of parallelism, high performances and scalability. The already proposed NoC architectures i...
متن کاملTowards Dilated Placement of Dynamic NoC Cores
Instead of mapping application task graphs in a compact manner onto reconfigurable devices using a network-on-chip for interconnecting application cores, we propose dilating the mappings as much as the available latencies on critical connections allow. In a dilated mapping, the unused resources between an application’s configured components can be used to provide additional flexibility when the...
متن کاملNoC support for dynamic FPGA pages
Module-based FPGA reconfiguration offers virtualization and multitasking capabilities, but to support this, many problems need to be solved. Current methodologies are very specific and are not capable of scaling or of being reused for other applications. This thesis proposes a methodology whereby the use of dynamic reconfiguration is supported for every core independent of the communication int...
