Mahendra Gaikwad, Rajendra Patrikar, Abhay Gandhi . Latency Performance of Chordal Ring Perfect Difference Network Topology for Network on Chip Architecture using NS-2. International Journal of Computer Applications. 34, 10 ( November 2011), 60-64. DOI=10.5120/4145-5721
The emerging platform-based design paradigm poses enormous challenges to conceptualizing, implementing, verifying and programming today’s complex System on Chip (SoC) design. Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture provides a scalable, high performance and robust infrastructure for on-chip communication. Perfect Difference Network (PDN) based on the mathematical notion of Perfect Difference Set as an asymptotically optimal method for connecting IP cores with network diameter D=2 so that any IP core is reachable from any other IP core in one or maximum two hops. In this paper, we have proposed the Network on Chip architecture based on the mathematical notion of Perfect Difference Network (PDN), which is referred as Chordal Ring PDN topology for Network on Chip architecture. PDN based Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture is currently viewed as a ‘revolutionary’ approach as a solution for addressing the design challenges of future high performance nanoscale architecture to provide a scalable, modular and robust infrastructure. In this paper, we present the latency performance of Chordal Ring PDN topology for NoC architecture using simulating tool NS-2.
