ABSTRACT
It was previously shown that Hybrid Photonic Plasmonic Interconnect (HyPPI) is an efficient candidate for augmenting electronic network on chips (NoCs). Here we introduce a reconfigurable Hybrid Photonic Plasmonic NoC termed D3NOC, which intelligently augments electrical meshes with a hybrid photon-plasmon interconnect express bus. The intelligence uses the Dynamic Data Driven Application System (DDDAS) paradigm, where computations and measurements form a dynamic closed feedback loop. Our results show up to 67% latency improvements and 69% dynamic power net improvements beyond overhead-corrected performance compared to a 16 × 16 base electrical mesh.
