Dear All, I am currently working with the various traffic analyses for Garnet 2.0. My main focus is on the variable linked hierarchical networks at the various network levels. Hence, different on-chip nodes are interconnected with the different on-chip network ( http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1250094/). This feature requires a specialized routing algorithm other than conventional DOR. Hence, Garnet 2.0 can be used for replacing the routing algorithm. However, this option was unavailable in Garnet 1.0.
Now, my concern is - 1. Can node link architecture can be replaced in garnet 2.0 (node can be interconnected with variable number of links ). Booksim 2.0 don't have this feature. 2. Hence, some node port might be unused. 3. Garnet 1.0 was integrated with Orion 1.0. Is there any power simulator was used in Garnet 2.0? 4. The network routing algorithm should consider the on-chip connection and also off-chip connection. Hence, can we consider a variable number of VC for on-chip links as well as variable off-chip links. Thanks a lot in advance... Yours sincerely, Faisal
