Elastic Buffer Flow Control for On-Chip Networks
2013
IEEE transactions on computers
This paper presents elastic buffers (EBs), an efficient flow-control scheme that uses the storage already present in pipelined channels in place of explicit input virtualchannel buffers (VCBs). With this approach, the channels themselves act as distributed FIFO buffers. Without VCBs, and hence virtual channels (VCs), deadlock prevention is achieved by duplicating physical channels. We develop a channel occupancy detector to apply universal globally adaptive load-balancing (UGAL) routing to load
