9 How FPGAs are Different from ASICs FPGAs peculiar HW realization substrate in terms of Relative cost of speed vs. logic vs. wires vs. memory Unique mapping and operating characteristics focuses on 4 FPGA characteristics: Abundance of Wires Storage Shortage & Peculiarities Frequency Challenged Reconfigurable Nature FPGA characteristics uniquely influence key NoC design decisions 9
10 Tailoring NoCs to FPGAs 1 Abundance of of Wires Densely connected wiring substrate (Over)provisioned to handle worst case Wires are free compared to other resources Make datapaths and channels as wide as possible Adjust packet format --CONNECT-- NoC Implications E.g. carry control info on the side through dedicated links Adapt traditional credit-based flow control 10
11 Tailoring NoCs to FPGAs 2 Storage Abundance Shortage & of Peculiarities Wires Modern FPGAs offer storage in two forms Block RAMs and LUT RAMs (use logic resources) Only come in specific aspect ratios and sizes Typically in high demand, especially Block RAMs Minimize usage and optimize for aspect ratios and sizes Implement multiple logical flit buffers in each physical buffer Use LUT RAM for flit buffers --CONNECT-- NoC Implications Block RAM much larger than typically NoC flit buffer sizes Allow rest of design to use scarce Block RAM resources 11
12 Tailoring NoCs to FPGAs 3 Frequency Abundance Challenged of Wires Much lower frequencies compared to ASICs LUTs inherently slower that ASIC standard cells Large wire delays when chaining LUTs Rapidly diminishing returns when pipelining Deep pipelining hard due to quantization effects --CONNECT-- NoC Implications Design router as single-stage pipeline Also dramatically reduces network latency Make up for lower frequency by adjusting network E.g. increase width of datapath and links or change topology 12
13 Tailoring NoCs to FPGAs 4 Reconfigurable Abundance of Nature Wires Reconfigurable nature of FPGAs Sets them apart from ASICs Support diverse range of applications --CONNECT-- NoC Implications Support extensive application-specific customization Flexible parameterized NoC architecture Automated NoC design generator (demo!) Adhere to standard common interface NoC appears as plug-and-play black box from user-perspective 13
