Publication number: 20200259743Abstract: A system and method for multicast delivery of messages using a configurable directional 2D router for Networks on Chips (NOCs) is disclosed. The router is well suited for implementation in programmable logic in FPGAs and achieves theoretical lower bounds on FPGA resource consumption. A NOC comprising a plurality of routers may be configured as a directional 2D torus, or in diverse ways, network sizes and topologies, data widths, routing functions, performance-energy tradeoffs, and other options. The NOC may transmit a unicast message from one source client core to one destination client core, or a multicast message from one source client core to a plurality of destination client cores, or an arbitrary mix of unicast and multicast messages, simultaneously. A multicast message destination may include all client cores of routers with a particular first or second dimension coordinate, or all client cores, or some arbitrary subsets of client cores.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2019Publication date: August 13, 2020Applicant: Gray Research LLCInventor: Jan Stephen Gray

Patent number: 10587534Abstract: Embodiments of systems and methods for sending messages between cores across multiple field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other devices are disclosed. A uniform destination address directs a message to a core in any FPGA. Message routing within one FPGA may use a bufferless directional 2D torus Network on Chip (NOC). Message routing between FPGAs may use remote router cores coupled to the NOCs. A message from one core to another in another FPGA is routed over a NOC to a local remote router then to external remote router(s) across inter-FPGA links or networks to the remote router of the second FPGA and across a second NOC to the destination core. Messages may also be multicast to multiple cores across FPGAs. A segmented directional torus NOC is also disclosed. The insertion of shortcut routers into directional torus rings achieves shorter ring segments, reducing message delivery latency and increasing NOC bandwidth.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2018Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Gray Research LLCInventor: Jan Stephen Gray

Patent number: 10419338Abstract: A configurable directional 2D router for Networks on Chips (NOCs) is disclosed. The router is well suited for implementation in programmable logic in FPGAs, and achieves theoretical lower bounds on FPGA resource consumption for various applications. The router may employ an FPGA router switch design that consumes only one 6-LUT or 8-input ALM logic cell per router per bit of router link width. A NOC comprising a plurality of routers may be configured as a directional 2D torus, or in diverse ways, network sizes and topologies, data widths, routing functions, performance-energy tradeoffs, and other options. System on chip designs may employ a plurality of NOCs with different configuration parameters to customize the system to the application or workload characteristics. A great diversity of NOC client cores, for communication amongst various external interfaces and devices, and on-chip interfaces and resources, may be coupled to a router in order to efficiently communicate with other NOC client cores.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Gray Research LLCInventor: Jan Stephen Gray
