NoC is actively being studied recently in order to overcome the limitations of shared-bus architecture. We proposed an NoC architecture which employs a buffer that plays a similar role of a proxy server in a computer network to enhance the communication efficiency of NoC architecture. In the proposed NoC architecture, whenever the master has a difficulty in communicating with the slave directly, the master communicates with the proxy server which is able to communicate with the slave on behalf of the master. With the proposed scheme in NoC, we can increase the speed and the bandwidth of communication channel. The experimental results showed that overall communication efficiency was significantly improved by sending the packets to the proxy server rather than holding them in the switch buffer.

본 논문에서는 네트워크 온 칩(NoC: network on chip) 구조에서의 내부 데이터 통신의 성능을 최적화 할 수 있는 새로운 온 칩 네트워크 인터페이스 구조를 제안하였다. 제안하는 NoC 구조는 기본적으로 하드웨어 면적을 줄이기 위하여 XY 라우팅 알고리듬을 기반으로 구현되었으며, 전달되는 패킷의 크기 또는 플릿의 개수를 최소화하기 위하여 Golomb-Rice 인코딩/디코딩 알고리듬에 기반을 둔 하드웨어 압축기/해제기를 이용하여 통신되는 데이터의 양을 크게 줄임으로써 네트워크 지연시간을 최소화 할 수 있는 새로운 구조를 제안하였다. 즉 전송될 데이터는 전송자(sender)의 네트워크 인터페이스에서 내장된 하드웨어 인코더를 통해 압축된 형태로 패킷의 개수를 최소화하여 온 칩 네트워크상의 데이터를 업로드하게 된다. 이러한 압축된 데이터가 리시버(receiver)에 도착하면, 하드웨어 디코더를 통해서 원래의 데이터로 복원된다. 사이클 수준의 시뮬레이터를 통하여 제안된 라우터 구조가 온 칩 시스템의 네트워크 지연시간을 크게 줄일 수 있음을 증명하였다.

This paper proposes a novel dynamically reconfigurable switch for various multimedia applications in hybrid NoC systems. Current NoC systems, which adopt hybrid NoC structure with fixed switch and job distribution algorithms, require designers to precisely predict the property of applications to be processed. This paper proposes a reconfigurable switch which minimizes buffer overflow in various multimedia applications running on an NoC system. To verify the performance of the proposed system, we performed experiments on various multimedia applications running on embedded systems, such as MPEG4 and MP3 decoder, GPS positioning system, and OFDM demodulator. Experimental results show that buffer overflow has been decreased by 41.8% and 29.0%, respectively, when compared with NoC systems having sub-clusters with mesh or star topology. Power usage has been increased by 2.3% compared with hybrid NoC systems using fixed switches, and chip area has been increased from -0.6% to 5.7% depending on sub-cluster topology.

As increasing the number of IPs integrated in a single chip and requiring high communication bandwidth on a chip, the trend of SoC communication architecture is changed from bus- or crossbar-based architecture to packet switched network architecture, NoC. However, highly complex control logics in routers require multiple cycles to switch packet. In this paper, we design low complex router to improve the communication latency. Our NoC design is verified by simulation platform modeled by ESL tool, SoC Designer. We also evaluate our NoC design comparing to the previous NoC architecture based on VC router. Our results show that our NoC architecture has less communication latency, even small throughput degradation (about 1-2%).

In this paper, we propose a novel ant colony optimization(ACO)-based application core ma ins method for implementing network-on-chip(NoC)-based systems-on-chip(SoCs). The proposed method efficiently put application cores to a mesh-type NoC satisfying a given design objective, the network latency. Experimental results using a functional circuit including 12 cores show that the proposed algorithm can produce near optimal mapping results within a second.

A flat type micro gas sensor was fabricated on the p-type silicon wafer with low stress Si$_3$N$_4$, whose thickness is 2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, using MEMS technology. WO$_3$ thin film as a sensing material for detection of NO$_2$ gas was deposited using a tungsten target by sputtering method, followed by thermal oxidation at several temperatures (40$0^{\circ}C$-$600^{\circ}C$) for one hour. NO$_2$ sensitivities were investigated for the WO$_3$ thin films with different annealing temperatures. The highest sensitivity was obtained for the samples annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ when it was operated at 20$0^{\circ}C$. The results of XRD analysis showed the annealed samples had polycrystalline phase mixed with triclinic and orthorhombic structures. The sample exhibits higher sensitivity when the system has less triclinic structure. The sensitivities, $R_{gas}/R_{air},$ operating at 20$0^{\circ}C$ to 5 ppm NO$_2$ of the sample annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ were approximately 90.

The neutral monomeric compounds $[Mo(NO)_2Cl_2(phen)]$ and $[W(NO)_2Cl_2(phen)]$ (phen= 1,10-phenanthroline) have been prepared by reactions of polymeric compounds $[{Mo(NO)_2Cl_2}n],\;[{W(NO)_2Cl_2}n]$ with chelate ligands. Additions of one equivalent of silver(I) perchlorate to these cis-dinitrosyl compounds in acetone solution produce $[Mo(NO)_2(phen)(S)Cl][ClO_4]\;and\;[W(NO)_2(phen)(S)Cl][ClO_4]$ (S = acetone). The homo- and hetero-dinuclear complexes, $[Cl(phen)(NO)_2M(pyz)M'(NO)_2(phen)Cl][ClO_4]_2$ (M = Mo, W) and $[Cl(phen)(NO)_2M(pyz)M'(NO)_2(phen)Cl][C1O_4]_2$ (M = Mo, M' = W) have been prepared by these monocationic complexes with pyrazine ligand respectively. These complexes characterized by elemental analysis, $1^H-\;and\;^{13}C-NMR$, infrared, and UV-visible spectroscopy are reported. The spectral data indicate that homo- and hetero-dinuclear complexes were symmetrical structures of $C_{2v}$.

NoC 기반 시스템이 적용되는 설계는 시스템 크기가 커짐에 따라 칩 테스트 문제도 동시에 제기 되고 있다. 이에 따라 NoC 기반의 시스템의 테스트 시간을 줄일 수 있는 internal test 방식의 새로운 BIST(Built-in Self-Test) 구조에 관한 연구를 하였다. 기존의 NoC 기반 시스템의 BIST 테스트 구조는 각각의 router와 core에 BIST logic과 random pattern generator로 LFSR(Linear Feedback Shift Register)을 사용하여 연결하는 individual 방식과 하나의 BIST logic과 LFSR을 사용하여 각각의 router와 core에 병렬로 연결하는 distributed 방식을 사용한다. 이때, LFSR에서 생성된 테스트 벡터가 router에 사용되는 FIFO 메모리를 통과하면서 생기는 테스트 타임 증가를 줄이기 위하여 shift register 형태의 FIFO 메모리를 변경하였다 제안된 방법에서 테스트 커버리지 98%이상을 달성하였고, area overhead면에서 효과를 볼 수 있다.
