| Summary: | Architecture of interconnection network plays a
significant role in the performance and energy consumption of
Network-on-Chip (NoC) systems. In this paper we propose
NoC implementation of Midimew-connected Mesh Network
(MMN). MMN is a Minimal Distance Mesh with Wrap-around
(Midimew) links network of multiple basic modules, in which
the basic modules are 2D-mesh networks that are
hierarchically interconnected for higher-level networks. For
implementing all the links of level-3 MMN, minimum 4 layers
are needed which is feasible with current and future VLSI
technologies. With innovative combination of diagonal and
hierarchical structure, MMN possesses several attractive
features including constant node degree, small diameter, low
cost, small average distance, and moderate bisection width
than that of other conventional and hierarchical
interconnection networks. |
