Zero-latency network on chip (noc)

TLDR
Packet format configurability is extended for packets transported on physical links of an Intellectual Property (IP) core interconnect by using at least two independent parameters: one parameter governing data-width and one parameters governing latency penalty.
Abstract
Packet format configurability is extended for packets transported on physical links of an Intellectual Property (IP) core interconnect by using at least two independent parameters: one parameter governing data-width and one parameter governing latency penalty The at least two independent parameters allow creation of transport protocol packets without additional latency insertion, which is useful for low-latency applications The at least two independent parameters also allow creation of narrow packets with multi-cycle additional latency, which is useful for latency tolerant, area sensitive applications

Heterogeneous channel capacities in an interconnect

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an example process to construct a heterogeneous channel NoC interconnect, wherein the channel width may be determined based upon the provided specification of bandwidth and latency between various components of the system.

Co-existence of latency tolerant and low latency communications

TL;DR: In this paper, the presence of both low latency and latency tolerant communications in shared time-frequency resources to try to improve resource utilization is discussed. And in some embodiments, a latency tolerant transmission is postponed to free resources to send a low latency transmission.

Supporting multicast in NoC interconnect

TL;DR: In this paper, a multicast message from a source component is replicated in the NoC during routing towards the destination components indicated in the message, where one or more multicast trees in the given NoC topology are formed and one of these trees is used for routing a multicasting message to its intended destination components mentioned therein.

Configurable router for a network on chip (NoC)

Joji Philip, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a configurable building block, such as a router, for implementation of a Network on Chip (NoC) is described. But this router is parameterized by a software layer, which can include the number of virtual channels for a port, number of ports, membership information of the virtual channels, clock domain, and so forth.

Network-on-chip environment and method for reduction of latency

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed an integrated circuit comprising a plurality of processing modules (21, 23, M, S; IP) and a network (NoC) arranged for coupling processing modules, where the data transmission between processing modules operates based on time division multiple access (TDMA) using time slots.
