Abstract:
The Reconfigurable Multi-Interconnection Network (RecMIN) is a new network architecture that reduces inefficiency and increases the throughput of the network on chip. The RecMIN topology adapts itself to traffic flow by reconfiguration. Three reconfiguration algorithms are employed, in order to take advantage of the capabilities of the RecMIN architecture. The $eta$-algorithm, the minimal queues algorithm and the pattern identification algorithm allow the network to adapt itself to different traffic distributions. Furthermore, an observation technique that notes changes in traffic pattern is presented, in order to avoid infinite reconfiguration processes. The performance of the algorithms is presented.
