Abstract(in English) | The constantly upgrading gate capacity of FPGAs enables us to implement a complex system on a chip. A packet-switched network presents to share network resources by multiple connections, so as to make the best use of link bandwidth. This study investigates the suitable overlay interconnects on FPGAs in terms of the amount of hardware, and throughput based on a parametric approach. Because the number of ports on a router sometimes dominates the amount of hardware for router, and its throughput performance, it has been chosen as a parameter. Based on a typical implementation of NoC router, various networks have been generalized and evaluated, in the case of both 16 hosts and 36 hosts. Evaluation results show that for small systems with 16 hosts or less, a full-crossbar switch is advantageous from the viewpoint of both throughput performance and hardware cost. On the other hand, when systems become large, the partitioned networks are efficient from the viewpoint of hardware cost. When the performance requirement is not so critical, we should select partitioned topology which requires minimum hardware and use some localization methods to improve the performance. |
