Info

Switching strategies • VCT (virtual cut through) Switching • reduces router latency over SAF switching by forwarding first flit of a packet as soon as space for the entire packet is available in the next router • if no space is available in receiving buffer, no flits are sent, and the entire packet is buffered • same buffering requirements as SAF switching • WH (wormhole) switching • flit from a packet is forwarded to receiving router if space exists for that flit • parts of the packet can be distributed among two or more routers • buffer requirements are reduced to one flit, instead of an entire packet • more susceptible to deadlocks due to usage dependencies between links
Routing algorithms • Responsible for correctly and efficiently routing packets or circuits from the source to the destination • Choice of a routing algorithm depends on trade-offs between several potentially conflicting metrics • minimizing power required for routing • minimizing logic and routing tables to achieve a lower area footprint • increasing performance by reducing delay and maximizing traffic utilization of the network • improving robustness to better adapt to changing traffic needs • Routing schemes can be classified into several categories • static or dynamic routing • distributed or source routing • minimal or non-minimal routing
