Call for Network-on-chip Benchmarks
Network-on-chip Benchmarking Workgroup at OCP-IP (NoCBWG)
NoCBWG is building a set of benchmarks to
distribute to researchers. You are invited to participate in the creation of
this benchmark set. NoCBWG will accept benchmark submissions in the format made
public in the benchmarks specifications document, located here (please note that viewing the document requires an OCP-IP Members account.) These may comprise application
task graphs, NoC communication architectures, communication trace files, and an
associated four-six page paper. The goal of the paper should be to explain the
benchmark, what it does, and why it is relevant to a particular user community
(CAD, design, test, etc.). Benchmark authors should be willing to allow
distribution of source code and/or input sets. If the authors wish their source
code or trace files to remain confidential, submitted data will be only used
for development purposes. Published code may be open source consistent with the
GNU general public license (see http://www.gnu.org/licenses).
We encourage NoC researchers to submit
benchmarks from any application domain. Benchmarks submitted in description
languages other than the published XML/schema format are acceptable, as long as
the submitting authors will commit to working together with the NoCBWG towards
translating these into the XML format made public by the workgroup.
The criteria that will be used to judge
benchmark submissions include:
Successful submissions will be included in
the NoCBM benchmark set and their associated descriptive, short, four-six page
papers will be published on-line on the OCP‑IP website.
