Distributed SDN architecture for NoC-based many-core SoCs
Marcelo Ruaro, Nedison Velloso, Axel Jantsch, Fernando Moraes · 2019
In the Software-Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm, routers are generic and programmable forwarding units that transmit packets according to a given policy defined by a software controller. Recent research has shown the potential of such a communication concept for NoC management, resulting in hardware complexity reduction, management flexibility, real-time guarantees, and self-adaptation. However, a centralized SDN controller is a bottleneck for large-scale systems.
