Dynamic resource management in modern multicore SoCs by exposing NoC services

摘要: Emerging multicore chips containing tens or even hundreds of cores require modern interconnect solutions with increased programmability to support dynamic resource management. Modern embedded devices appear that employ recon-figurable architectures application specific hardware modules, but still runtime QoS optimizations power management more flexibility from the underlying infrastructure and corresponding middleware. This paper demonstrates a methodology expose NoC services for adaptive resources through software platform based on Spidergon STNoC technology which consists low level driver layer libraries accessible at user level. Thus, system designer can exploit programmable Network-on-Chip so as provide differentiated network multiple independent applications. easily be extended any technology. allows design customized topologies iNoC GUI tool, is generate appropriate Linux kernel. Moreover, an integrated C API developer capture requirements dynamically adjust settings NoC. In this we improve facilitate SoC aid library extensions; present tools offer extreme real examples applications configurability, running both typical Android environments.
