Title:

Physical Constraint Aware Network on Chip Interconnect(NoC)

Abstract:

The network on chip (NoC) interconnect approach captures multiple wire, topology, SoC services and performance criteria in an interconnect element IP library and a tool set that goes from the earliest architectural analysis to RTL generation. However, how does one know if the interconnect architecture being contemplated will be efficient or even implementable during the physical design phase? This presentation covers how and why physical design constraint awareness should be incorporated into the earliest phases of SoC architecture development and analysis. A comparison of two SoC architecture topologies is presented, showing differences in physical design time, efficiency and ultimately SoC cost.
