Abstract
Abstract—Networks-on-Chip are seen as promising interconnect
solutions, offering the advantages of scalability and high
frequency operation which the traditional bus interconnects lack.
Several NoC implementations have been presented in the literature,
some of them having mature tool-flows and ecosystems. The
main differentiating factor between the various implementations
are the services and communication patters they offer to the enduser.
In this paper we present dAElite, a TDM Network-on-Chip
that offers a unique combinations of features, namely guaranteed
bandwidth and latency per connection, built-in support for
multicast, and a short connection set-up time. While our NoC
was designed from the ground up, we leverage on existing tools
for network dimensioning, analysis and instantiation. We have
implemented and tested our proposal in hardware and we found
it to compare favorably to the other NoCs in terms of hardware
area. Compared with aelite, which is closest in terms of offered
services our network offers connection set-up times faster by a
factor of 10 network, traversal latencies decreased by 33%, and
improved bandwidth.
