Abstract

We discuss why performance verification of systems on chip (soc) is difficult, by means of an example. We identify four reasons why building socs with predictable performance is difficult: unpredictable resource usage, variable resource performance, resource sharing, and interdependent resources. We then introduce the concept of a service, aiming to address these problems, and describe its advantages over "ad-hoc" approaches. Finally, we introduce the Æthereal network on chip (noc) as a concrete example of a communication resource that implements multiple service levels.
