Network on chip (NoC), software define network (SDN), centralized controller, flexibility, reconfigurability
This paper presents a new NoC architecture to improve flexibility and area consumption using a centralized controller. The idea behind this paper is improving SDN concept in NoC. The NoC routers are replaced with small switches and a centralized controller doing the routing algorithm and making control decisions. As one of the main desirable property of NoC is flexibility, in this work with the help of centralized controller, having different topologies and also having two separate networks in a single platform is possible. The other effects of this new scheme are power and area consumption which are investigated. Performance of the NoC is also studied with an analytical model and compared with the traditional NoC. The proposed NoC is implemented in VHDL, simulated and tested with ISE Xilinx.
