Memory and global interconnect dominate the cost, power and performance of Embedded System on Chip (SOC) architectures. We contend that most of the architectural innovations being pursued today do not directly address these challenges. Move Logic Not Data is a scalable architectural concept where the movement of data is minimal. The logic that transforms/creates data is instead brought to the d...

Network-on-chip-based multiprocessor systems-on-chip (NoC-based MP-SoCs) are considered as future embedded systems platforms. One of the steps in mapping an application onto such a parallel platform involves determining when data is sent between the tasks in the application. As a network-on-chip allows concurrent communication, a decision on the route through the network must also be made. Timi...

The search for new "neuromorphic computing" architectures that mimic the brain's approach to simultaneous processing and storage of information is intense. Because, in real brains, neuronal synapses outnumber neurons by many orders of magnitude, the realization of hardware devices mimicking the functionality of a synapse is a first and essential step in such a search. We report the development ...

The architecture of a 4×4 nanophotonic switch element based on silicon microring resonator technology is introduced. The internally nonblocking design provides an optimal building block for photonic network on chip architectures. Introduction The recent trend toward chip multiprocessors (CMPs) in modern high performance computing architectures has highlighted the need for a low latency, high-ba...

in this paper, a new design of optical channel drop filter based on two- dimensional photonic crystal ring resonators with triangular lattice is proposed. the rods of this structure is silicon with the refractive index nsi=3.46 and the surrounding environment is air with the refractive index of nair=1.the widest photonic band gap obtains for the filling ratio of r/a = 0.2. the filter’s transmis...

We introduce a multi-layer silicon photonic microring resonator filter, fabricated using deposited materials, and transmit up to 12.5-Gb/s error-free data, establishing a novel class of high-performance silicon photonics for advanced photonic NoCs. Furthermore, by leveraging deposited materials, we propose a novel fully-integrated scalable photonic switch architecture for data center networks, ...

Many synthesis works discussed emerging technology networks−on−chip (NoC) from different aspects. These works were and still are a solid foundation of the state of the art for emerging technology NoC research and practices. However, with respect to their quality and conciseness, the available literature is outdated or don’t give an extensivere view of the available contributions in this area. I...
