Abstract:

Future high-performance 3D integrated chips require
a reliable and efficient communication structure for internal
communication. It needs to be able to move data between
devices on the chip efficiently without limiting the performance
of the system. An on-chip communication structure for nearfuture
3D integrated chips is proposed in this paper. It is
based on the Network-on-Chip paradigm and it utilizes an
adaptive routing algorithm supported by a partly global network
monitoring service which spreads the traffic information over the
network. The traffic information diffuses over the network so that
locations of the congestion spots can be predicted. The presented
hybrid mesh-ring NoC structure improves the performance of the
network by balancing the load of the communication resources
efficiently.
