Addresses the Challenges Associated with System-on-Chip Integration
Network-on-Chip: The Next Generation of System-on-Chip Integration
examines the current issues restricting chip-on-chip communication
efficiency, and explores Network-on-chip (NoC), a promising
alternative that equips designers with the capability to produce a
scalable, reusable, and high-performance communication backbone by
allowing for the integration of a large number of cores on a single
system-on-chip (SoC). This book provides a basic overview of topics
associated with NoC-based design: communication infrastructure
design, communication methodology, evaluation framework, and
mapping of applications onto NoC. It details the design and
evaluation of different proposed NoC structures, low-power
techniques, signal integrity and reliability issues, application
mapping, testing, and future trends.Utilizing examples of chips
that have been implemented in industry and academia, this text
presents the full architectural design of components verified
through implementation in industrial CAD tools. It describes NoC
research and developments, incorporates theoretical proofs
strengthening the analysis procedures, and includes algorithms used
in NoC design and synthesis. In addition, it considers other
upcoming NoC issues, such as low-power NoC design, signal integrity
issues, NoC testing, reconfiguration, synthesis, and 3-D NoC
design. This text comprises 12 chapters and covers: The evolution
of NoC from SoC-its research and developmental challenges NoC
protocols, elaborating flow control, available network topologies,
routing mechanisms, fault tolerance, quality-of-service support,
and the design of network interfaces The router design strategies
followed in NoCs The evaluation mechanism of NoC architectures The
application mapping strategies followed in NoCs Low-power design
techniques specifically followed in NoCs The signal integrity and
reliability issues of NoC The details of NoC testing strategies
reported so far The problem of synthesizing application-specific
NoCs Reconfigurable NoC design issues Direction of future research
and development in the field of NoC Network-on-Chip: The Next
Generation of System-on-Chip Integration covers the basic topics,
technology, and future trends relevant to NoC-based design, and can
be used by engineers, students, and researchers and other industry
professionals interested in computer architecture, embedded
systems, and parallel/distributed systems.
