可配置片上网络性能评估平台

摘要

To remedy the deficiencies of the network on chip (NoC) verification platform composed of software or hardware only, a performance evaluation platform for the NoC verification was designed in combination with hardware and software. A NoC based on virtual channel router was verified by this platform on the Xilinx Virtex6 FPGA. Experiment result shows that, with very little hardware resources, the verification platform possesses high efficiency to verify and evaluate the performance of NoC system.%为了弥补目前单纯采用软件或者硬件构建NoC验证平台的一些缺陷,采用软硬件结合的设计方法实现了NoC的FPGA验证与性能评估平台.利用该平台在Xilinx Virtex 6 FPGA上对基于虚通道路由器的片上网络进行了验证.实验证明该验证平台功能完善,占用硬件资源少,综合时钟频率高,评估NoC系统的效率非常高.
