  1. OCIN Workshop Wrapup Bill Dally

  2. Thanks To • Funding • NSF - Timothy Pinkston, Federica Darema, Mike Foster • UC Discovery Program • Organization • Jane Klickman, John Owens, Li-Shiuan Peh • Attendees • Speakers and poster presenters • Working groups did a great job!

  3. OCINs are a Critical Technology • Key component of • emerging multi-core systems • MPSoCs • Straightforward scaling will not satisfy need • 15x over power budget for channels • Off-chip organizations give excessive latency • Support needed for monitoring/debugging • Research is needed to close the gap • Will enable future systems • enterprise to handheld

  4. Overview Micro-architecture Applications & Evaluation System Architecture Circuits & Technology CAD &Design

  5. Enabling Circuits and Technology • General areas to be addressed • Lower power communication • Lower power, fast memory • Areas for future research (for year 2015 systems) • Low swing wires • Role of 3D integration for on-die interconnects • Role of photonics for on-die interconnects • Optimized metallization • Tradeoff high C lower layers for upper level layers

  6. Application & Evaluation Research Issues • Applications/Services • New programming models • performance aware constructs and annotations • Limits to scalability of coherence protocols (enhanced support for barriers, multicast) • Network support for classes of traffic • Models for RT guarantees (for SoC) • New types of network services • isolation, security, partitioning, error recovery, power-aware decisions, reconfiguration, ... • Architectural benchmark suites & characterization • Simulation tools and techniques

  7. CAD Research Challenges • Network synthesis’ interface with system-level constraints and design • Hybrid custom and synthesized tool flow • Design validation • Impact of CMOS scaling and new interconnect technologies (e.g. 3D integration, optical) • End-user feedback design toolchain • Dynamic reconfigurable network tools • Beyond simulation

  8. CAD Overview End-user feedback Many-core system constraints Application instrumentation 6 Dyn-reconf Custom IP blocks Validation synthesis CMOS & interconnect techniques

  9. System Architecture Research Agenda • Flow Control • Congestion control with bounded or limited buffering • Adaptive flow control/ switching for multi-modal traffic and time varying application requirements                        • Network interface • Light weight, generic: low latency, tightly coupled, general programming, flexible and general purpose • Virtualized network interface • Technology-aware topologies : higher dimensions • Fault Tolerance, Reconfiguration • Self tuning links and switches to process variation, soft errors • Network reconfiguration to adapt to application requirements • Support for partitioning and virtualization: isolation, performance across domains, accelerators, traffic heterogeneity • Support for monitoring, debugging

  10. Enabling Microarchitecture • Minimizing latency & power are key • Fundamental research needed in routers, interfaces, electrical design • Reliability and variability are emerging challenges • Programming interface is key • Must expose low latency to software • Programmability drives network constraints & features • Broader impact: making multicore systems viable, usable, and effective

  11. Potential for Tremendous Impact • Continued scaling of computing • Reduced design complexity, improved design reuse • Reliability in the presence of errors/variation • Simplified programming

  12. Next Steps • Report • Summarize findings of workshop • I’ll be asking for your help • Special Issue of IEEE Micro • Funding?
