Abstract:
The applications running on Networks on-Chip (NoC)
typically have to meet a minimum performance requirements
to perform successfully. Employing differentiated
services is a widely used approach to support QoS (Quality
of Service) by relatively prioritizing traffic in the networks employing connection-less communication mechanisms. In this paper we present an analytical evaluation of the average message latency for wormhole-routed interconnect
architectures exploiting a traffic prioritization mechanism
to achieve differentiated services-based QoS. To verify the
validity of the model we apply the method to the Spidergon
NoC and compare the model against the results obtained
from a discrete-event simulator developed using OMNET++.
