Challenge for Ultrafast 10K-Node NoC emulation on FPGA

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) With thousands of cores in the near future NoC architectures, the simulation time is a serious problem that makes architectural design explorations and performance evaluations become infeasible in many cases. This paper proposes an FPGA-based NoC emulator which can achieve an ultrafast simulation speed without compromising the simulation accuracy. Our NoC emulator is the first FPGA-based one which is able to accurately emulate 10K-Node scale NoCs. Instead of directly implementing NoC designs on an FPGA, we emulate the behavior of the entire network using a small number of physical nodes. Moreover, we propose a method to implement the infinite source queues which are required to store injection packets until they can be accepted by the network. We show that an implementation of our NoC emulator on a Virtex 7 FPGA can achieve 438x simulation speedup over a software-based simulator while maintaining the simulation accuracy.
