No.031 Many-cores and On-chip Interconnects

Historically, significant research has been done in large-scale off-chip networks and recently, there has been significant work done on on-chip networks. Each interconnection networks have different constraints and as a result, the resulting architectures can be different while still sharing some similarities. In this talk, we will explore how we can apply interconnection networks to other domains. In particular, we will discuss how interconnection networks can be leveraged in other ways – including the design of an internal switch microarchitecture and be leveraged for use as a memory network.
