In the nano scaled transistors integration era, interconnection of IP blocks and data exchange among the IP blocks are crucial concerns in System on Chip (SoC). Networkon-Chip (NoC) is an on-chip communication methodology proposed to resolve the increased interconnection problems in SoC. In deep sub-micron regime, 3D NoC becomes an emerging research area in recent years as the three dimensional (3D) integrated circuits (ICs) can offer shorter interconnection wire and dissipate lesser power. Major area of the 3D NoC research is network topology and routing techniques. In this paper, we present an NS-2 (Network Simulator) simulation environment for two 3D network topologies (GBT and CBT) and cluster based routing algorithms. Simulation results are reported.Simulation results about the relationship between switch buffer size, injected traffic load, packet delay, packet drop probability and energy dissipation are analyzed. On comparing CBT with GBT, a significant performance improvement is demonstrated.
Network on chip (NoC) has been proposed as a solution for addressing the design challenges of future high performance nanoscale architectures. In NoCs, the traditional routing schemes are routing packets through a single path or multiple paths from one source node to a destination node, minimizing the congestion in the routing architecture. Although these routing algorithms are moderately efficient, they are time dependent. To reduce overall data packet transmission time in the network, the authors consider a network with multiple sources and multiple destinations. Multi-dimensional routing problems appear naturally in several resource allocation problems, communication networks and wireless sensor networks. In this paper, the authors have constructed a deadlock-free multi-dimensional path routing algorithm for minimizing the congestion in NoC.
In this article, we introduce a new static analysis for numerical accuracy. Weaddress the problem of determining the minimal accuracy on the inputs and on the intermediary results of a program containing foating-point computations in order to ensure a desired accuracy on the outputs. The main approach is to combine a forward and a backward static analysis, done by abstract interpretation. The backward analysis computes the minimal accuracy needed for the inputs and intermediary results of the program in order to ensure a desired accuracy on the results, specied by the user. In practice, the information collected by our analysis may help to optimize the formats used to represent the values stored in the variables of the program or to select the appropriate sensors. To illustrate our analysis, we have shown a prototype example with experimental results.
