An Introduction to Multi-Core System on Chip – Trends and Challenges

摘要: The empirical law of Moore does not only describe the increasing density transistors permitted by technological advances. It also imposes new requirements and challenges. Systems complexity increases at same speed. Nowadays systems could never be designed using approaches applied 20 years ago. New architectures are must continuously conceived. is clear now that Moore’s for last two decades has enabled three main revolutions. first revolution in mid-eighties was way to embed more electronic devices silicon die; it era System On Chip. One challenge interconnect all these efficiently. For this purpose, Bus structure used long time. Anyway, mid-nineties industrial academic communities faced a when number processing cores became numerous sharing single communication medieum. A interconnection scheme based on Network Telecom Fabrics, Chip born; over past decade intense research efforts have led significant improvements.
