DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: As advancements in CMOS technology trend toward=0Aever increasing core counts in chip multiprocessors for=0Ahigh-performance embedded computing, the discrepancy between=0Aon- and off-chip communication bandwidth continues to widen=0Adue to the power and spatial constraints of electronic off-chip=0Asignaling. Silicon photonics-based communication offers many=0Aadvantages over electronics for network-on-chip design, namely=0Apower consumption that is effectively agnostic to distance traveled=0Aat the chip- and board-scale, even across chip boundaries. In this=0Awork we develop a design for a photonic network-on-chip with=0Aintegrated DRAM I/O interfaces and compare its performance to=0Asimilar electronic solutions using a detailed network-on-chip simulation. When used in a circuit-switched network,=0Asilicon nanophotonic switches offer higher bandwidth density and=0Alow power transmission, adding up to over=0A10x better performance and 3-5x lower power over the baseline=0Afor projective transform, matrix multiply, and Fast Fourier=0ATransform (FFT), all key algorithms in embedded real-time signal=0Aand image processing.
