| Abstract | Abstract — Novel BiNoC router architecture supporting the self configuring bidirectional channel mechanism is presented. The BiNoC allows each communication channel to be dynamically self configured to transmit flits in either direction in order to better utilize on-chip hardware resources. To facilitate this bidirectional traffic, we used a novel inter-router traffic control module known as Channel Control Module to allow neighboring routers to coordinate the specific directions of the pair of channels between them for each data packet. The flow direction at each channel is controlled by a channel direction control (CDC) algorithm. Implemented with a pair of finite state machines, this CDC algorithm is shown to be high performance, free of deadlock, and free of starvation. It is shown that the associated hardware overhead is negligible. This paper presents a VHDL based cycle accurate register transfer level model of inter-router traffic control module known as Channel Control Module for BiNoC architectures. The paper discusses in detail the architecture and characterization of the various interrouter traffic control mechanism in BiNoC router.
