Generic Silicon Photonics PDK & Design Methdology†
- Download GSiP PDK Library
...it provides a Generic Silicon Photonics (GSiP) PDK, which is implemented in Mentor Graphics (Pyxis and Calibre) and Lumerical INTERCONNECT tools and is available for download. The purpose of this kit is to demonstrate the functionality of a silicon photonics design flow implementation, with no restrictions to its distribution. This kit can be adapted for different fabrication processes (from the developers).

Communication Traffic Patterns†
Communication traffic patterns are essential for Interconnection networks:
- Architecture exploration
- Performance evaluation
- Comparisons
(1) Random/synthetic traffic patterns
- Pro: simple to implement, pinpoint specific aspects of networks
- Con: cannot show overall application performance and power,and application-specific issues
(2) Realistic traffic patterns are based on real applications
- Pro: show overall application performance and power, and application-specific issues
- Con: difficult to get
