Abstract

Networks-on-Chip (NoC) was introduced to achieve
maximum communication performance in on-chip systems. Local
congestion caused by the queuing of data at input channel buffers
constrains NoC latency and throughput performance. NoCs
require a predictive approach to minimize the effects from local
congestion problems. In this paper we proposed a novel fine-grain
congestion prediction approach based on Spiking Neural Network
(SNN), which predicts router congestion with 30 clock cycles look-
ahead capability. Two fine-grain prediction approaches including
router and network models are proposed. The prediction
performances of the models are evaluated and analyzed using both
synthetic and real-time NoC traffic applications. Results show that
the network model is more consistent in fine-grain local congestion
prediction and requires 42% less hardware area than the router
model.
