Abstract
A QoS-aware BiNoC architecture is proposed in this chapter to support guarantee-service (GS) traffic while reducing packet delivery latency. With the dynamically self-reconfigured bidirectional communication channels incorporated in BiNoC, as presented in Chap. 6, our proposed QoS-aware technique can promise more flexibility for various traffic flow patterns. Specifically, a novel inter-router communication protocol is proposed to prioritize bandwidth arbitration in favor of high-priority GS traffic flows. Multiple virtual-channels with prioritized routing policy are also implemented to facilitate data transmission with QoS considerations. Combining these architectural innovations, the QoS-aware BiNoC architecture can promise reduced latency of packet delivery and a more efficient channel resource utilization.
