Jindun Dai, Xin Jiang, Takahiro Watanabe · 2017
This paper presents an efficient routing algorithm for 3D meshes without virtual channels. The proposed routing algorithm is extended from 2D east-first routing algorithm and based on network partitioning. It is proven that the proposed method is free from deadlock. In comparison of previous routing algorithms, the average degree of adaptiveness is higher. This feature contributes to higher communication efficiency. Experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve lower communication latency and higher throughput over other traditional methods.
