CAFT: Cost-aware and Fault-tolerant routing algorithm in 2D mesh Network-on-Chip

By increasing, the complexity of chips and the need to integrating more components into a chip has made network –on- chip known as an important infrastructure for network communications on the system, and is a good alternative to traditional ways and using the bus. By increasing the density of chips, the possibility of failure in the chip network increases and providing correction and fault tol...

Performance evaluation of network-on-chip interconnect architectures

Network-on-chip architectures and design methods

Performance and power of gigascale systems-on-chip (SoCs) is increasingly communication-dominated. Designers have to accommodate the communication needs of an increasing number of integrated cores while preserving overall system performance under tight power budgets. State-of-the-art SoC communication architectures start facing scalability as well as modularity limitations, and more advanced bu...

Graceful deadlock-free fault-tolerant routing algorithm for 3D Network-on-Chip architectures

Three-Dimensional Networks-on-Chip (3D-NoC) has been presented as an auspicious solution merging the high parallelism of Network-on-Chip (NoC) interconnect paradigm with the high-performance and lower interconnect-power of 3-dimensional integration circuits. However, 3D-NoC systems are exposed to a variety of manufacturing and design factors making them vulnerable to different faults that cause...

Combinatorial methods for the evaluation of yield and operational reliability of fault-tolerant systems-on-chip

In this paper we develop combinatorial methods for the evaluation of yield and operational reliability of fault-tolerant systems-on-chip. The method for yield computation assumes that defects are produced according to a model in which defects are lethal and affect given components of the system following a distribution common to all defects; the method for the computation of operational reliabi...
