Clock Boosting Router: Increasing the Performance of an Adaptive Router in Network-on-Chip (NoC)

چکیده
In this paper, a simple and e cient clock boosting mechanism to increase the performance of an adaptive router in Network-on-Chip (NoC) is proposed. One of the most serious disadvantages of a fully adaptive wormhole router is performance degradation due to the routing decision time. The key idea to overcome this shortcoming is the use of di erent clocks in a head it and body its. The simulation results show that the proposed clock boosting mechanism enhances the performance of the original adaptive router by increasing the accepted load and decreasing the average latency in the region of e ective bandwidth. The enhanced throughput of a router results in power saving by reducing the operating frequency of a router for certain communication bandwidth requirements.

Congestion estimation of router input ports in Network-on-Chip for efficient virtual allocation
Effective and congestion-aware routing is vital to the performance of network-on-chip. The efficient routing algorithm undoubtedly relies on the considered selection strategy. If the routing function returns a number of more than one permissible output ports, a selection function is exploited to choose the best output port to reduce packets latency. In this paper, we introduce a new selection s...
