A Performance Study of 2D Mesh & Torus for Network on Chip Based System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concept of Network on Chip (NoC) is a promising solution for high performance computing systems. It is implemented by placing the different processing modules on a single chip allowing efficient interaction through an interconnection network. This paper presents a comparative performance study of mesh and torus commonly used interconnection networks. To compare the performance, the parameters considered are maximum and average hop count, number of wire segments and wire length. It is concluded that the solution is not scalable. Therefore a scalable architecture is a potential area of research.

متن کاملReliability and Performance Evaluation of Fault-aware Routing Methods for Network-on-Chip Architectures (RESEARCH NOTE)
Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...
متن کاملRow/Column-First: A Path-based Multicast Algorithm for 2D Mesh-based Network on Chips
In this paper, we propose a new path-based multicast algorithm that is called Row/Column-First algorithm. The proposed algorithm constructs a set of multicast paths to deliver a multicast message to all multicast destination nodes. The set of multicast paths are all of row-first or column-first subcategories to maximize the multicast performance. The selection of row-first or column-first appro...
متن کاملA New Cross-By-Pass-Torus Architecture Based on CBP-Mesh and Torus Interconnection for On-Chip Communication
A Mesh topology is one of the most promising architecture due to its regular and simple structure for on-chip communication. Performance of mesh topology degraded greatly by increasing the network size due to small bisection width and large network diameter. In order to overcome this limitation, many researchers presented modified Mesh design by adding some extra links to improve its performanc...
