Thermally Active 4×4 Non-Blocking Switch for Networks-on-Chip

چکیده
We demonstrate power penalty measurements through two output ports of a 4×4 nonblocking switch designed for networks-on-chip. We use integrated metal heaters to tune individual rings, and observe how the device scales with data rate.

An Electro Optical Honeycomb Networks-on-Chip based on a New Nonblocking Switch
Network-on-Chip (NoC) is an emerging paradigm for communications within large VLSI systems implemented on a single silicon chip. However, the electronic network on chip design faces many problems like energy consumption, bandwidth and QoS. Compared with traditional electronic NoC, optical Network on Chip exhibits advantages of high-bandwidth, low latency and power dissipation. In this paper, a ...
متن کاملNon-blocking Optical Banyan Switch on SOI
An integrated spatially non-blocking 2x2 Banyan switch on silicon on insulator (SOI) is demonstrated. The device relying on thermally switched microring resonators has a footprint of less than 0.02 mm2 and shows negligible channel crosstalk. The presented novel switch topology features a high scalability for application in many-core interconnections for network on-chip architectures. Keywords-c...
متن کاملNon-Blocking Routers Design Based on West First Routing Algorithm & MZI Switches for Photonic NoC
For the first time, the 4- and 5-port optical routers are designed by using the West First routing algorithm for use in optical network on chip. The use of the WF algorithm has made the designed routers to provide non-blocking routing in photonic network on chip. These routers not only are based on high speed Mach-Zehnder switches(Which have a higher bandwidth and more thermal tolerance than mi...

متن کاملHardware Implementation of Parallel Algorithm for Setting Up Benes Networks
Both Benes and Clos networks are rearrangeably non-blocking multi-stage interconnection networks. Benes network is a special case of Clos network which has inputs and outputs. The Benes network is constructed with switching nodes recursively. Due to their non-blocking property and relative smaller number of crosspoints, Benes/Clos networks have received much attention in both academia and indus...
