A Network on Chip Adapter for Real-Time and Safety-Critical Applications
Fabian Kempf, Nidhi Anantharajaiah, Leonard Masing, Jürgen Becker · 2019
In this paper we present a novel Network Adapter (NA) for packaged-based Network-on-Chips. It is suitable for hard real-time and safety-critical applications. The NA we present has a low footprint low latency behavior. In contrast to state of the art we tightly couple a Message Passing Interface and a DMA Unit to achieve better real-time results. A WCTT analysis is provided for real-time applications.
