On Routing Flexibility of Wormhole-Switched Priority-Preemptive NoCs
Ref: CISTER-TR-160602 Publication Date: 17 to 19, Aug, 2016Abstract:
Flit-level preemptions via virtual channels have
been proposed as one viable method to implement prioritypreemptive arbitration policies in NoC routers, and integrate
NoCs in the hard real-time domain. In recent years, researchers
have explored several aspects of priority-preemptive NoCs, such
as different arbitration techniques, different priority assignment
methods (where applicable) and different workload mapping
approaches, all with the common objective to use interconnect
mediums more efficiently. Yet, the impact of different routing
techniques on such a model is still an unexplored topic. Motivated
by this reality, in this work we study the effects of routing
flexibility on wormhole-switched priority-preemptive NoCs.
