Abstract
Networks-on-chip (Noc) is proposed to achieve extensible and higher bandwidth communication in many-core CMPs. To make full use of the IC resource efficiently, sub-network partitioning oriented to Noc is proposed, which divides the whole Noc into regions to achieve the traffic isolation demand that acquired by Cache coherence protocol. We take the region segmentation for mesh-based Noc, the task mapped PEs (processing elements) aggregate into the Logic sub-network, and routing between these PEs is implemented in the according Physical sub-network, in which an efficient tree-based broadcast scheme based on multicast XY routing algorithm is carried out. The Gem5 Simulator is used to promote the research, experimental results shows our approach have a quite less average packet latency compared with multiple unicast.
