Monolithic SoCs can be decomposed into disparate chiplets that support integration with
advanced pack-aging technologies. This concept is promising in reducing the manufacturing …

BCube is a promising structure of data center network, as it can significantly improve the
performance of typical applications. With the expansion of network scale and increasement …

With the help of advanced packaging technologies to integrate multiple chips (eg, CPU, AI,
IO), a chiplet-based SoC design process can enable fast system construction. However, the …

Maintaining correctness is of paramount importance in the design of a computer system.
Within a multiprocessor interconnection network, correctness is guaranteed by having …

The growing demand for higher compute and memory capacity driven by artificial
intelligence (AI) applications pushes higher core counts in modern systems. Many-core …

We revisit the question of how many virtual networks (VNs) are required to provably avoid
deadlock in a cache coherence protocol. The textbook way of reasoning about VNs says that …

NoCs are over-provisioned with large virtual channels to provide deadlock freedom and
performance improvement. This use of virtual channels leads to considerable power and …

As chip fabrication has advanced to the nano level, the increased link density has
heightened the risk of failures. The potential performance drawbacks resulting from these …

Allocating a free buffer before moving to the next router is a fundamental tenet for packet
movement in NoCs. Often, to solve head of line blocking and avoid deadlock, NoCs are …

Power gating is effective for networks-on-chip (NoCs) to reduce the excessive leakage
power dissipated by idle network components. Most existing NoC power-gating approaches …
