Research Abstract

We proposed a photonic network-on-chip (NoC) which utilizes both static and dynamic wavelength allocation mechanisms. Proposed NoC communicates fine-grained and coarse-grained messages by the static and dynamic wavelength allocations, respectively. Our experiments show that the proposed NoC improves communication performance per energy consumption compared to previously proposed electronic-photonic hybrid NoCs.
