Design of Electrical Control Router for Hybrid Photonic NoC (PHENIC) Systems
Background (Problem Definition)†
The huge computing power of many-core multi-processor systems will require very large on-chip and off-chip data transfer rates (> 100TB/s). One efficient technology for transmitting this level of information is the optical interconnects, which promise significant advantages over their electronic counterparts. In particular, optical on-chip interconnect (ONoC)) offers a potentially disruptive technology solution with fundamentally low power dissipation that remains independent of capacity while providing ultra-high throughput and minimal access latency. In addition, when combined with 3D integration technology, ONoC offers advantages over 2D NoC design, such as shorter wire length, higher packing density, and smaller footprint.
Current PHENIC and also conventional Photonic NoC Systems lack an efficient control router.
