Power and area optimisation in heterogeneous 3D networks-on-chip architectures

Published: 19 December 2011 Publication History

Abstract

Three dimensional Network-on-Chip (3D NoC) architectures have evolved with a lot of interest to address the on-chip communication delays of modern SoC systems. However, the vertical interconnections between layers is more power and area hungry compared to 2D interconnections. In this paper we propose area efficient and low power heterogeneous NoC architectures, which combines both the power and performance benefits of 2D routers and 3D NoC-bus hybrid router architectures in 3D mesh topologies. Experimental results show a negligible penalty of up to 5% in average packet latency of 3D homogeneous NoC with bus hybrid routers. The heterogeneity however provides superiority of up to 67% and 19.7% in power and area efficiency of the NoC resources, respectively.
