Thermal Analysis for 3D Optical Network-on-Chip Based on a Novel Low-Cost 6x6 Optical Router

We propose 3D mesh-based optical network-onchip (ONoC) based on a novel low-cost 6x6 optical router, and quantitatively analyze thermal effects on the 3D ONoC. Evaluation results show that with the traditional thermal tuning technique using microheater, the average power efficiency of the 3D ONoC is about 2.7pJ/bit, while chip temperature varies spatially between 55C and 85C. In comparison, a n...

Design of a Low-Latency Router Based on Virtual Output Queuing and Bypass Channels for Wireless Network-on-Chip

Wireless network-on-chip (WiNoC) is considered as a novel approach for designing future multi-core systems. In WiNoCs, wireless routers (WRs) utilize high-bandwidth wireless links to reduce the transmission delay between the long distance nodes. When the network traffic loads increase, a large number of packets will be sent into the wired and wireless links and can...

five-port optical router design based on mach–zehnder switches for photonic networks-on-chip

we design and simulate a five-port optical router, which is composed of twenty mach-zehnder-based switching elements and twelve waveguide crossings for use in integrated photonic interconnection networks. we simulated and analyzed the operation of the proposed optical router from the aspects of insertion loss, power budget, q-factor and the minimum bit error ratio by use of optisystem simulator...

Non-Blocking Routers Design Based on West First Routing Algorithm & MZI Switches for Photonic NoC

For the first time, the 4- and 5-port optical routers are designed by using the West First routing algorithm for use in optical network on chip. The use of the WF algorithm has made the designed routers to provide non-blocking routing in photonic network on chip. These routers not only are based on high speed Mach-Zehnder switches(Which have a higher bandwidth and more thermal tolerance than mi...
