Fast Flexible FPGA-Tuned Networks-on-Chip

Abstract

To design 4x4 Mesh, Fat Tree16, Ring16 and Double Ring networks using CONNECT based NoC that embodies a set of FPGA-motivated design principles that uniquely influence key NoC design decisions, such as topology, flit width, router pipeline depth and flow control. The flexibility, lightweight nature and high performance of CONNECT-based NoCs makes them ideal candidates for use in FPGA-based research studies. In this project evaluating these networks with different FPGA family and analysing the efficient FPGA family using the Xilinx ISE software. In the 4x4 mesh configuration when evaluated using synthesis results of different FPGA family, reduced logic resource cost is obtained. To demonstrate CONNECT's flexibility and extensive design space coverage, different CONNECT networks are synthesized
