Introduction and Overview
This book presents an overview of the issues related to the test, diagnosis and fault-tolerance of Network on Chip-based systems. It is the first book dedicated to the quality aspects of NoC-based systems and will serve as an invaluable reference to the problems, challenges, solutions, and trade-offs related to designing and implementing state-of-the-art, on-chip communication architectures.
The content covers the characteristics of NoC design, including topologies, structures, routers, wrappers, and protocols. It also provides a summary of terms used in the field and an overview of existing industrial and academic NoCs.
Key Topics Covered
The manual details the main aspects of testing NoC-based systems, starting with the testing of embedded cores where the NoC plays a crucial role. Key areas include:
- Current Test Strategies: Discusses the reuse of the network for core testing, test scheduling for NoC reuse, test access methods and interface, efficient reuse of the network, and power-aware and thermal-aware NoC-based SoC testing.
- NoC Infrastructure Challenges: Presents challenges and solutions for interconnects, routers, and network interface testing and diagnosis.
- Fault Tolerance Techniques: Explores techniques for NoC fault tolerance, such as error control coding, retransmission, fault location, and system reconfiguration.
This book serves as a single source reference for the latest research, consolidating information otherwise found in disparate journals and conference proceedings.
