Network-on-Chip Benchmarking Specification Part 2 : Micro-Benchmark Specification
Zhonghai Lu, Axel Jantsch, Erno Salminen, Cristian Grecu · 2008
The rapid development of Network-on-Chip (NoC) calls for a systematic approach to evaluate and fairly compare various NoC architectures. In this specification, we define a generic NoC architecture, a comprehensive set of synthetic workloads as micro-benchmarks, workload scenarios and evaluation criteria. These micro-benchmarks enable to measure and pinpoint particular properties of NoC architectures, complementing application benchmarks.
