Energy-Efficient Deflection-based On-chip Networks: Topology, Routing, Flow Control

R Ausavarungnirun, O Mutlu - arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.02516, 2021 - arxiv.org
As the number of cores scales to tens and hundreds, the energy consumption of routers
across various types of on-chip networks in chip muiltiprocessors (CMPs) increases
significantly. A major source of this energy consumption comes from the input buffers inside
Network-on-Chip (NoC) routers, which are traditionally designed to maximize performance.
To mitigate this high energy cost, many works propose bufferless router designs that utilize
deflection routing to resolve port contention. While this approach is able to maintain high …
