Abstract:According to the problem of switch allocation, a network latency equalization-oriented switch allocation strategy was proposed to improve system performance by designing a more fairness switch allocation strategy and improving the degree of network latency equalization. The evaluation of the design with SPEC CPU2006 benchmarks was performed in a full-system simulator. Compared with the canonical separable switch allocator and the TS-Router (recently proposed switch allocator), the experiments show that the approach decreases LSD (latency standard deviation) by 13.8% and 3.9% respectively, as well as ML (maximum latency) by 45.6% and 15.1% respectively. The approach improves system throughput by 0.8% over that of TS-Router. Finally, the design is implemented based on the separable switch allocator, and it can perform the evaluation in speed, area and power.
