OUYANG Yi-ming, ZHANG Yi-dong, LIANG Hua-guo, et al. A Fault-Tolerant Design of Faults and Congestion-Aware Router in Three-Dimensional Network-on-Chip[J]. Acta Electronica Sinica, 2013, 41(5): 912-917.
The faults occurring in the input ports and crossbar of the router will seriously affect the performance of the entire network in Three-dimensional Network-on-Chip.This article proposes a fault and congestion-aware fault-tolerant router.By adding a redundancy of the input port and the bypass bus
our scheme can achieve fault tolerance of input ports and crossbar faults
and can effectively solve the congestion problem in the case of no fault port using the redundant port.The fault tolerance mechanism proposed can tolerate more fault-routers and still maintain good performance in a serious case of congestion.
