Proceedings ArticleDOI
Crosstalk noise and bit error rate analysis for optical network-on-chip
Yiyuan Xie,Mahdi Nikdast,Jiang Xu,Wei Zhang,Qi Li,Xiaowen Wu,Yaoyao Ye,Xuan Wang,Weichen Liu +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that crosstalk noise significantly limits the scalability of ONoCs, and a novel compact high-SNR optical router is proposed to improve the maximum ONoC size to 8×8.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A NoC Traffic Suite Based on Real Applications
TL;DR: Experimental results show that MCSL benchmark suite can be used to study NoC characteristics more accurately than traditional random traffic patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
3-D Mesh-Based Optical Network-on-Chip for Multiprocessor System-on-Chip
Yaoyao Ye,Jiang Xu,Baihan Huang,Xiaowen Wu,Wei Zhang,Xuan Wang,Mahdi Nikdast,Zhehui Wang,Weichen Liu,Zhe Wang +9 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a 3-D mesh-based ONoC for MPSoCs, and new low-cost nonblocking 4 × 4, 5 × 5, 6 × 6, and 7 × 7 optical routers for dimension-order routing in the 3- D mesh- based O noC, and proposes an optimized floorplan.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design Space Exploration of Microring Resonators in Silicon Photonic Interconnects: Impact of the Ring Curvature
Meisam Bahadori,Mahdi Nikdast,Sebastien Rumley,Liang Yuan Dai,Natalie Janosik,Thomas Van Vaerenbergh,Alexander Gazman,Qixiang Cheng,Robert Polster,Keren Bergman +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed analysis of fundamental tradeoffs between ring radius and coupling gap size is presented to draw realistic borders of the possible design space for microring resonators (MRRs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Crosstalk Noise in WDM-Based Optical Networks-on-Chip: A Formal Study and Comparison
Mahdi Nikdast,Jiang Xu,Luan H. K. Duong,Xiaowen Wu,Xuan Wang,Zhehui Wang,Zhe Wang,Peng Yang,Yaoyao Ye,Qinfen Hao +9 more
TL;DR: In the worst case, the crosstalk noise power exceeds the signal power in all three WDM-based ONoC architectures, even when the number of processor cores is small, e.g., 64.
