摘要:

随着集成电路工艺的等比例缩小,互连线延迟相对门延迟增加,导致报文在片上网络路由器之间的传输需要多个时钟周期。但是,在基于信用点流控策略中,物理链路中的寄存器在发生拥塞时不能够缓冲报文。因此,本文提出了一种自适应的通道双缓冲结构,能够在发生拥塞时缓冲报文。通过门级电路的设计和分析,根据逻辑努力方法建立了CDB的延迟模型。延迟模型的准确性利用Synopsys时序分析工具Prime Time在TSMC的65nm工艺库下被验证,两者相差不超过一个τ4。结果表明,在32nm工艺下,1mm长的半全局互连线通道双缓冲(CDB)和简单流水线(SPLS)所需要的级数相同。

Abstract:

With the technology scaling down,relative to the gate delay, the global wire delay increases and hence a flit transmission between routers requires several cycles on NetworkonChips(NoCs).Registers in pipelined channels cannot buffer flits when the congestion occurs in the creditbased flow control scheme.Therefore,an adaptive Channel Double Buffer (CDB),which can buffer flits,is proposed in the paper. With detailed design and analysis of the gatelevel circuit, the delay model of the CDB is derived based on the theory of the logical effect.It is validated by Synopsys Prime Time in a TSMC 65 nm technology and found the difference within one τ4.Experimental results show that the depth of the CDB is the same with the SPLS for a 1mm semiglobal interconnect wire in a 32nm technology.
