Label Switched based 2DNoC for streaming platform

A Network-on-Chip (NoC) serves as a communication framework essential for enabling efficient data exchange among diverse components or modules within System-on-Chip (SoC) designs and multi-core processors.. NoCs can be adapted for various types of data traffic, including streaming signals. They are designed with key priorities like low latency, effective bandwidth management, energy efficiency, and ensuring high-quality service (QoS). To achieve power efficiency, a method involving Label switching is and encoding technique is employed. This Label Switching (LS) technique enhances power utilization and, ensures both guaranteed throughput and conservation of available bandwidth. The LS-based NoC operates on a packet-based algorithm i.e Max flow algorithm, where data transfer path information is conveyed as labels alongside the actual data implemented for a 8 x 8 mesh topology. The complete design has been synthesized utilizing Xilinx Design Suite 14.7, delivering a maximum data throughput of 360.345 megahertz. The observed latency is 1135 nanoseconds, and the throughput reaches approximately 5x1015 bits per second. The anticipated power usage stands at 8.2 milliwatts for basic binary data, while it increases to 82 milliwatts for processing ECG signals representing a significant reduction compared to the state-of-the-art work approaches.
