Evaluation of Performance of different routing Algorithm using Noxim

Abstract

One of the primary methods for examining and testing novel ideas in the Network-on-Chip space is simulation. Noxim simulator enables the analysis of performance for both established wired NoC and new WiNoC architectures. User can modify the size of the network, size of the packet, routing algorithm, various strategy selection and packet injection rate. The simulator evaluates NoCs in terms of various parameters of Network throughput, delay etc. In particular, the user can obtain various assessment metrics such as overall number of received packets/flits, global average throughput, max/min global delay, consumption of total energy. and so on. In comparison to traditional mesh NoC, this paper examines how different routing methods and WiNoC sizes affect network traffic distributions. We analyze PIR, Network throughput parameters of 8*8 mesh networks for various routing algorithms and its impacts are investigated. Simulation of Mesh wireless NOC architecture is validated.
