Design and Synthesis of Hybrid Nanophotonic Network-On-Chip Architectures

Abstract: Networks on Chip (NoCs) have emerged as scalable
communication fabrics that can support high
bandwidths massively parallel multi-core systems.
However, traditional electrical NoC
implementations still need to overcome the
challenges of high data transfer latencies and
large power consumption. On-chip photonic
interconnects with high performance-per-watt
characteristics have recently been proposed as an
alternative to address these challenges for intra-
chip communication. However, with increasing
embedded application complexity, hardware
dependencies, and performance variability,
optimizing hybrid nanophotonic-electric NoCs
requires traversing a massive design space. No
prior work has addressed this problem to the best
of our knowledge. We present the first effort in
this direction for design and synthesis of hybrid
nanophotonic network-on-chip architectures.
