Abstract:

Hierarchical Agent Architecture is proposed to pro-
vide online monitoring services to NoC-based systems. Based
on circuit conditions traced at the run-time, system settings
are monitored adaptively by agents at each architectural level.
This monitoring approach partitions various online diagnostic
and management services onto hierarchical implementation levels
so as to provide scalability and variability for large-scale NoC
design. This paper explains the monitoring interaction between
agent levels, and focuses on system optimization alternatives
handled by different agent levels. It further quantitatively an-
alyzes the feasibility and design alternatives in monitoring com-
munication interconnection upon regular tile-based NoC layout.
Though still under intensive research, the proposed architecture
is endowed with promising potential for highly-integrated NoC
design.
