2014 ACM/IEEE 41st International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA)
We propose SynFull, a synthetic traffic generation methodology that captures both application and cache coherence behaviour to rapidly evaluate NoCs. ...
Current simulation methodologies for evaluating networkson-chip (NoCs) are not keeping pace with the increased complexity of our systems; architects often want to explore many different design knobs quickly ...

arXiv
pre-print
Our approach consists of developing two novel transformations of queuing system and designing an algorithm which iteratively uses these two transformations to estimate end-to-end latency. ...
Since NoCs play a vital role in system performance and power consumption, pre-silicon evaluation environments include cycle-accurate NoC simulators. ...
This technique forms a Markov chain for a given queuing system, then analyzes this model in z-domain through probability generating functions (PGF). ...

Ten Years of Performance Evaluation for Concurrent Systems Using CADP
[chapter]
2010
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Traditional performance models like Markov chains and queueing networks are not easy to apply for large-sized systems, mainly because they lack hierarchical composition and abstraction means. ...
The design of models suited for performance and reliability analysis is challenging due to complexity and size of the modeled systems, in particular for those with a high degree of irregularity. ...
About a decade ago, Cadp has been extended with performance evaluation capabilities, based on the Imc (Interactive Markov Chain) theory [2, 3] . ...
