A New Approach for Inter Networks-on-Chip Communication in Networks-in-Package.
Vivek Kumar Sehgal, Nitin Nitin, Durg Singh Chauhan · European Symposium on Algorithms · 2008
Networks-in-Package (NiP) is a solution for inter Networks-on-Chip (NoC) communication, where power dissipation, performance, and size of processing package are the major factors. NiP is a group of NoCs mounted on a single package. In this paper, we proposed a new method, which merges the two communications, local communication between the Intellectual Property (IP) cores in a NoC and global communication between NoCs in NiP. In addition to this, we proposed that the transfer of information in NoC and among NoCs can be represented using closed donor controlled based compartmental model, convertible into a stochastic model. This stochastic model is more realistic and enables to compute the transition probabilities as well as expected delay in NoC and among NoCs. Moreover, at any particular instant of time (while the transition probability is maximum) we can track the packets among switching elements (SEs). These tracked packets are used in the real time applications such as data acquisitions and control applications.
