Abstract
This paper proposes a novel and highly scalable multistage packet-switch design based on Networks-on-Chip (NoC). In particular, we describe a three-stage packet-switch fabric with a Round-Robin packets dispatching scheme where each central stage module is an Output-Queued Unidirectional NoC (OQ-UDN), instead of the conventional single-hop crossbar. We test the switch performance under different traffic profiles. In addition to experimental results, we present an analytical approximation for the theoretical throughput of the switch under Bernoulli i.i.d arrivals. We also provide an upper-bound estimation of the end-to-end blocking probability in the proposed switch to help predict performance and to optimize the design.
