[[Akram Ben Ahmed/coming-journal-paper-schedule]] ---- **First draft: Completed on August 16, 2013 ([[PDF>http://aslweb.u-aizu.ac.jp/~m5141153/Conferences/IEEE/IEEEtran-1.pdf]], [[Latex>http://aslweb.u-aizu.ac.jp/~m5141153/Conferences/IEEE/IEEEtran-1.rar]]) [#ice75572] Discussion of the meeting held on Friday, August 16th 2013: - Complete the simulation of the system previously discussed: -- RAB for buffer fault-tolerance -- BLoD for crossbar fault-tolerance - Implement the optimization for the RAB. --Start first by implementing the borrowing technique --Second, implement the prediction table for the buffer sharing technique -- Investigate about the best rule that should be set for the prediction of the least busy buffer - Implement the optimization for the Bypass-Link-on-Demand (BLoD): -- Exploit the unsed crossbar links on the edges of the network instead of adding additional bypass links -- Investigate about a mathematical model expressing the unused crossbar link (as a motivation) - Evaluation: Divide the evaluation into three section: --Evaluate the RAB technique in terms hardware complexity, throughput, and latency -- Compare three different systems: --- RAB with no buffer sharing --- RAB with the borrowing technique --- RAB with the prediction table --Evaluate BLoD technique in terms hardware complexity, throughput, and latency -- Compare different systems: --- No BLoD --- One Bypass-link --- Optimal number of Bypass-link -- Evaluate LAFT routing in terms hardware complexity, throughput, and latency -- Compare with: ---XYZ ---LA-XYZ ---- ** Second draft : Completed on October 15, 2013 ([[PDF>http://aslweb.u-aizu.ac.jp/~m5141153/Conferences/IEEE/IEEEtran-2.pdf]], [[Latex>http://aslweb.u-aizu.ac.jp/~m5141153/Conferences/IEEE/IEEEtran-2.rar]]) [#hf15efd5] ** Third draft : Completed on December 17, 2013 ([[PDF>http://aslweb.u-aizu.ac.jp/~m5141153/Conferences/IEEE/IEEEtran-3.pdf]], [[Latex>http://aslweb.u-aizu.ac.jp/~m5141153/Conferences/IEEE/IEEEtran-3.rar]]) [#hf15efd5] ** Fourth draft : Completed on March 25, 2014 ([[PDF>http://aslweb.u-aizu.ac.jp/~m5141153/Conferences/IEEE/IEEEtran-4.pdf]], [[Latex>http://aslweb.u-aizu.ac.jp/~m5141153/Conferences/IEEE/IEEEtran-4.rar]]) [#hf15dfd5] *** Major modifications: [#y22693d1] - Rewrite the Introduction part - Add anew section (Failure Anlaysis) - Rewrite the Related work -- remove the irrelevant works -- Dedicate a subsection for routing algorithm -- Dedicate a subsection for reliable router architecture - Modify the hardware evaluation section: -- Use Design compiler for the evaluation instead of Quartus II -- Include a small table comparing the area and power overhead of the proposed router with that of the baseline one -- Add a mall paragraph about the layout of the router obtained with SoC Encounter ** Fifth draft : Completed on April 11, 2014 ([[PDF>http://aslweb.u-aizu.ac.jp/~m5141153/Conferences/IEEE/IEEEtran-5.pdf]], [[Latex>http://aslweb.u-aizu.ac.jp/~m5141153/Conferences/IEEE/IEEEtran-5.rar]]) [#hf15dfd5] ---- COLOR(red){Last update: April 22nd, 2014. 9.40 a.m.}
