QNoC: QoS Architecture and Design Process for Network on Chip
Overview This paper defines Quality of Service (QoS) and cost model for communications in Systems on Chip (SoCs), and derive related Network on Chip (NoC) architecture and design process. SoC inter-module communication traffic is classified into four classes of service: Signaling (for inter-module control signals); Real-Time (representing delay-constrained bit streams); RD/WR (modeling short data access) and Block-Transfer (handling large data bursts). Communication traffic of the target SoC is analyzed (by means of analytic calculations and simulations), and QoS requirements (delay and throughput) for each service class are derived. A customized Quality-of-Service NoC (QNoC) architecture is derived by modifying generic network architecture. The customization process minimizes the network cost (in area and power) while maintaining the required QoS.
