Part 2 of OCP-IP's Network On Chip Benchmarking Specification Released to Member Review
Part Two contains sections on Architecture Definition, Traffic Configuration, Measurement and the Micro-Benchmarks Set. Architecture definition covers the topics of NoC model under evaluation, communication entities: transaction, transfer and packet, and standard communication interfaces. Traffic Configurations discusses temporal and spatial distributions of NoC traffic data for performance evaluation. The Measurement section details workload and metrics. Finally, the Micro-Benchmarks Set section covers naming conventions for micro-benchmarks, and micro-benchmarks implementations.
This specification was completed with the collaboration of a number of world’s most prestigious universities working on NoC research including: University of British Columbia, Carnegie Melon University, Royal Institute of Technology, Tampere University of Technology and Washington State University and was supported by cooperation and participation of industry members from the OCP-IP NoC Benchmarking Working Group (NoC BWG). These companies include: GreenSocs, Nokia, Sonics, Synopsys, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba. For the latest information on the work of this group please see the OCP-IP newsletter at http://www.ocpip.org/pressroom/newsletters/.
