Going beyond isolated research ideas and design experiences, Designing Network On-Chip Architectures in the Nanoscale Era covers the foundations and design methods of network on-chip (NoC) technology. The contributors draw on their own lessons learned to provide strong practical guidance on various design issues.

Exploring the design process of the network, the first part of the book focuses on basic aspects of switch architecture and design, topology selection, and routing implementation. In the second part, contributors discuss their experiences in the industry, offering a roadmap to recent products. They describe Tilera's TILE family of multicore processors, novel Intel products and research prototypes, and the TRIPS operand network (OPN). The last part reveals state-of-the-art solutions to hardware-related issues and explains how to efficiently implement the programming model at the network interface. In the appendix, the microarchitectural details of two switch architectures targeting multiprocessor system-on-chips (MPSoCs) and chip multiprocessors (CMPs) can be used as an experimental platform for running tests. A stepping stone to the evolution of future chip architectures, this volume provides a how-to guide for designers of current NoCs as well as designers involved with 2015 computing platforms. It cohesively brings together fundamental design issues, alternative design paradigms and techniques, and the main design tradeoffs--consistently focusing on topics most pertinent to real-world NoC designers.

Reviews for Designing Network On-Chip Architectures in the Nanoscale Era

! a timely and welcome addition to the wide spectrum of available NoC literature ! above and beyond a simple overview of research ideas and/or design experiences. The book covers in-depth architectural and implementation concepts and gives clear guidelines on how to design the key network components. ! [it] teaches some hard lessons from the design trenches. In addition, the book covers some of the hottest upcoming research and development trends, such as vertical integration and variation-tolerant design. The editors put enormous effort in orchestrating the content for uniformity and in minimizing overlaps between chapters, while maintaining a solid logical flow. ! a much needed 'how-to' guide and an ideal stepping stone for the next ten years of NoC evolution. --From the Foreword by Luca Benini, Universita di Bologna and STMicroelectronics, Italy
