On-Chip Communications Survey Results
This comprehensive report takes a closer look at general technology trends and factors associated with OCCNs, such as core target speeds. It investigates the most popular OCCN topologies being considered for implementation in multi-core SoCs, including networks-on-chip (NoCs), crossbars, peripheral interconnect, and multi-layer bus matrices. It then dives deeper into NoCs, including analyzing adoption plans.
The topics covered in this report are:
- Survey methodology.
- Average time spent designing, modifying, verifying on-chip communications networks.
- Challenges when implementing on-chip communication networks.
- Target core speeds for 2013 design starts.
- Power domains partitioning expected for SoCs.
- On-chip network topologies being considered.
- Commercial NoCs implementation plans for 2013.
- Number of cores where commercial NoCs become an important consideration.
- T op criteria for selecting NoC.
- Primary reasons to utilize Virtual Channels.
- Summary.
