Abstract :
Based on silicon optical interconnect, optical networks-on-chip has significant bandwidth and power advantages. We simulated and compared several ONoCs based on the topologies including 2D-mesh, 3D-mesh, 2D-FT (Fat-tree) and 2D-BFT (Butterfly Fat-tree) in terms of the end-to-end delay and network throughput. The results show that 3D-mesh has the best performance.
