Abstract

The network-on-chip (NoC) is a primary shared resource that serves as the primary communication substrate in a multicore system. As core counts continue to increase and applications become increasingly data-intensive, the network load will also increase, leading to more congestion in the network. In this talk, I will present Heterogeneous Adaptive Throttling (HAT), a new application-aware throttling technique that reduces congestion to improve system performance in NoC based multicore systems.
