Title:

Advances in Safety and Resilience in SoC Interconnect

Abstract:

With Network on Chip (NoC) interconnect being used in nearly 200 SoCs, this presentation covers how this technology can be leveraged for mission critical systems, such as automotive or industrial applications. The focus is to describe how safety and resiliency mechanisms in the NoC can become key enablers in meeting various safety goals described in the ISO26262 standard for automotive systems. Solutions presented will include various Error Detection mechanisms, including the, use of Redundant Logic, reliable fault reporting, and generalized use of ECC to assure safe SoC operation. The presentation will speculate that the use of interconnect IP safety and resiliency features may become mainstream for a variety of applications at geometries of 16nm and below.
