Info

Clocking schemes • Fully synchronous • single global clock is distributed to synchronize entire chip • hard to achieve in practice, due to process variations and clock skew • Mesochronous • local clocks are derived from a global clock • not sensitive to clock skew • phase between clock signals in different modules may differ • deterministic for regular topologies (e.g. mesh) • non-deterministic for irregular topologies • synchronizers needed between clock domains • Pleisochronous • clock signals are produced locally • Asynchronous • clocks do not have to be present at all
Quality of Service (QoS) • QoS refers to the level of commitment for packet delivery • refers to bounds on performance (bandwidth, delay, and jitter) • Three basic categories • best effort (BE) • only correctness and completion of communication is guaranteed • usually packet switched • worst case times cannot be guaranteed • guaranteed service (GS) • makes a tangible guarantee on performance, in addition to basic guarantees of correctness and completion for communication • usually (virtual) circuit switched • differentiated service • prioritizes communication according to different categories • NoC switches employ priority based scheduling and allocation policies • cannot provide strong guarantees
