Overview

Vtool NoC Interconnect IP is a highly configurable and technology independent IP, built for easy customization and integration into any system using AMBA AXI / APB / AHB standard. Interconnect IP enables connection between multiple master and multiple slave components while guaranteeing low latency and high bandwidth.

Key features

  • AMBA AXI / APB / AHB protocol compliant
  • Configurable number of masters and slaves
  • Configurable interface parameters:
    • address width
    • data width - any 2^n bits
    • burst length - up to 16 transfers
    • transaction ID width
    • user-defined signals width
  • Round robin, fixed and dynamic priority arbitration
  • “Single slave per ID” as cyclic dependency avoidance scheme
  • Combinatorial, forward registered, reverse registered and fully registered pipelining options to prevent master/arbitration stalls
  • Independent address maps and master-to-slave visibility list for different masters

Benefits

  • Fully customizable solution, automatically generated, easy to configure and integrate into any complex ASIC or SoC
  • Saves time in complex system development while providing performance and/or area consumption optimization
  • Fully flexible solution easy to update and extend for any specific customer need
  • Bug-free design coming with complete UVM verification environment and test suite
  • FPGA proven
  • Option for a full suite combining Vtool services, including design, verification, and embedded

MeshKV: A Network-on-Chip KV Cache Fabric for Scalable Transformer Decoding Accelerators

Autoregressive transformer decoding is constrained by irregular key-value (KV) cache movement on tiled accelerators. Prior compression and DRAM-placement systems still concentrate traffic on centralized memory paths that bottleneck long-context serving. The authors present MeshKV, a KV cache fabric that moves blocks as packetized flows over a lightweight NoC.

HyNoC: A Hybrid Circuit-Switch/Wormhole Network-on-Chip for Distributed VLIW Computing on FPGA

Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures have become the standard interconnect fabric for many-core systems, yet most proposals face a fundamental trade-off between latency, area, and congestion management. This paper presents HyNoC (Hybrid Network-on-Chip), an open-source NoC architecture that combines circuit-switch path establishment with wormhole data transfer, targeting distributed computing systems built around VLIW processor cores on FPGA.

Secure Multi-Path Routing with All-or-Nothing Transform for Network-on-Chip Architectures

Ensuring Network-on-Chip (NoC) security is crucial to design trustworthy NoC-based System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures. While there are various threats that exploit on-chip communication vulnerabilities, eavesdropping attacks via malicious nodes are among the most common and stealthy. Although encryption can secure packets for confidentiality, it may introduce unacceptable overhead for resource-constrained SoCs.

Why verification matters in network-on-chip (NoC) design

In this article, we will dive deeper into a comprehensive methodology for formally verifying an NoC, showcasing the approaches and techniques that ensure our NoC designs are robust, efficient, and ready to meet the challenges of modern computing environments.
