Abstract:
Continuing progress and integration levels in silicon technologies make possible complete end-user systems consisting of extremely high number of cores on a single chip targeting either embedded or high-performance computing. However, without new approaches for energy- and thermally-efficient design, as well as scalable, low power and high bandwidth on-chip communication architectures, this vision may remain a pipe dream. Towards this end, wireless Network-on-Chip (WiNoC) represents an emerging paradigm for designing low power, high bandwidth interconnect infrastructure for multicore chips. This tutorial will provide a timely and insightful journey into various challenges and emerging solutions of designing WiNoC architectures from a variety of different perspectives, ranging from very high levels of abstraction (e.g., system architecture) to very low levels (e.g., on-chip antenna and transceiver design). By scope and contents, this tutorial targets students and researchers belonging to both academia and industry.
