On-chip Global Interconnects for Networking ASICs-white paper
ثبت نشده
چکیده
While serial transceivers move data in and out of an ASIC, on-chip global interconnects move data inside the ASIC. These global interconnects include crossbar switches and busses for sharing on-chip resources. To guarantee quality of service, the on-chip global interconnects are often designed to carry several times worth of traffic compared to the serial transceivers. Close to 10 Tb/s is not atypical with today’s requirements.

متن کاملEfficient High-Speed On-Chip Global Interconnects
The continuous miniaturization of integrated circuits has opened the path towards System-on-Chip realizations. Process shrinking into the nanometer regime improves transistor performance while the delay of global interconnects, connecting circuit blocks separated by a long distance, significantly increases. In fact, global interconnects extending across a full chip can have a delay correspondin...
متن کاملOn-Chip Optical Interconnects: A Viable Approach
Three decades ago Gordon Moore predicted that number of transistors per integrated circuit (IC) would double every two years. Today the high performance ICs are counting upto two billion of transistors and working at 10 GHz clock frequencies. The on chip interconnects are going to be a major bottleneck to the performance of such ICs. The use of copper interconnects & low K dielectrics has provi...
متن کاملPrediction of net-length distribution for global interconnects in a heterogeneous system-on-a-chip
A system-on-a-chip (SoC) contains several pre-designed heterogeneous megacells that have been designed and routed optimally. In this paper a new stochastic net-length distribution for global interconnects in a nonhomogeneous SoC is derived using novel models for netlist, placement, and routing information. The netlist information is rigorously derived based on heterogeneous Rent’s rule, the pla...
