  1. A Bus Architecture for Crosstalk Elimination in High Performance Processor Design Wen-Wen Hsieh Advisor : Ting Ting Hwang

  2. Outline • Introduction • Motivation and Observation • The Proposed Bus Architecture • Experimental Results • Conclusion

  3. Introduction • Crosstalk is the effect due to the coupling capacitances. • Crosstalk causes additional delay, power consumption and incorrect result of a circuit. • Crosstalk effect becomes much more serious in long on-chip bus.

  5. Delay with / without Crosstalk Delay comparison for bus length 10mm in 100 nm process [Duan2001] Time (ps)

  6. Bit Ratio of 3C and 4C • 3C and 4C types of crosstalk cause serious delay penalty but take only a small portion of the total transmitted data.

  7. average 36.03% Fetch Rate and Commit Rate commit rate • In superscalar architecture, the instruction fetch rate is much higher than instruction commit rate in bus transmission. 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% lms multiply dot_product update matrix convolution irr_nsection fir fir2dim
