Toward Parallelism-Optimal Topology Generation for Wavelength-Routed Optical NoC Designs
SessionLet's Network with Chiplets
DescriptionThe wavelength-routed optical network-on-chip (WRONoC) emerges as a promising solution for multi-core system communication, providing high-bandwidth, high-speed, and low-power transmission. As the number of cores in a WRONoC increases, some WRONoC topologies could be infeasible if bit-level parallelism is not considered. The parallelism was optimized only for the radius selection of microring resonators but not for topology generation. To remedy this drawback, we present a parallelism-aware WRONoC topology generation flow that guarantees a parallelism-optimal topology for full connectivity; and a parallelism-optimal topology for customized connectivity under certain conditions. Compared with the previous method, experimental results show 67.5% improvement in parallelism.
