摘要:Synchronous networks-on-chip (NoC) require tailored schedulers achieving low latency, high
throughput, and fairness while avoiding packet collisions. Efficient schedulers exist for rearrangeable non-blocking
NoC. However, NoCs fabricated in integrated photonics typically suffer a blocking behavior due to the limitations of
the switching capabilities in the space and wavelength domains. This paper discusses a scheduler for an integrated
optical NoC based on a ring topology and realized with multiple resonating microrings (multi-microring, MMR).
Scheduling in MMR architecture consists of the conventional matching sub-problem and the wavelength assignment
sub-problem. The paper’s contribution is twofold. Advanced adaptive parallel wavelength matching (aaPWM)
algorithm .In addition, bidirectionality with one or two transceivers per port is proposed as a way to overcome the
throughput degradation caused by the blocking behavior. Simulation results indicate that bidirectionality is very
effective in improving the throughput and reducing the latency even when using a single transceiver.
