Comparison of the Triplet-based Hierarchical Interconnection Network and 2-D Mesh for Multi-core Processor
基三分层互连网络和2-D Mesh的比较

High-performance processor architectures are moving towards designing that feature multiple processing cores on a single chip.Efficient on-chip interconnection network is very essential to the performance of multi-core pro- cessor.A new interconnection network for multi-core processor,which is named triple-based hierarchical interconnec- tion network(THIN),is proposed.The topology of the network is very simple and it has obviously hierarchical,sym- metric and scalable characteristic.The interconnection network properties and latency in no-blocking mode of THIN and 2-D Mesh are compared.The compare result shows when there are not too many nodes THIN is more fit to con- struct interconnection network for multi-core processor than 2-D Mesh.
