Abstract :
An on-die multi-core circuit-switched network achieves 2.64Tb/s throughput for an 8×8 2D mesh, consuming 4.73W in 45nm CMOS at 1.1V and 50°C. Pipelined circuit-switched transmission, circuit channel queue circuits and dual supplies enable up to 1.51Tb/s/W energy efficiency, with scalable streaming performance of 6.43Tb/s.
