Efficient and Predictable Group Communication for Manycore NoCs.
Karthik Yagna, Onkar Patil, Frank Mueller · ISC · 2016
Massive manycore embedded processors with network-on-chip (NoC) architectures are becoming common. These architectures provide higher processing capability due to an abundance of cores. They provide native core-to-core communication that can be exploited via message passing to provide system scalability. Despite these advantages, manycores pose predictability challenges that can affect both performance and real-time capabilities.
