NETWORK-ON-CHIP FLIT TRANSMISSION METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A network-on-chip flit transmission method and a network-on-chip flit transmission apparatus. The method includes: receiving a current flit including an operation ID Op ID, an operation type Op Type, and a payload; when determining that acceleration processing needs to be performed on the current flit, determining, according to the Op Type, whether the payload of the current flit affects an execution result of a destination node of the current flit, where the execution result is a result obtained by executing, by the destination node, a task corresponding to the Op ID; and forwarding the current flit to a next node if a determining result is yes; and discarding the current flit if a determining result is no. Therefore, not only a quantity of flits that need to be transmitted on a network-on-chip can be greatly reduced, but also a calculation amount of the destination node can be reduced.

1. A network-on-chip flit transmission method, the method comprising:
receiving a current flit comprising an operation ID Op ID, an operation type Op Type, and a payload; determining, according to the Op Type, whether the payload of the current flit affects an execution result of a destination node of the current flit when determining that acceleration processing needs to be performed on the current flit, wherein the execution result is a result obtained by executing, by the destination node, a task corresponding to the Op ID; forwarding the current flit to a next node when a determining result is that the payload of the current flit affects the execution result of the destination node of the current flit; and discarding the current flit when a determining result is that the payload of the current flit does not affect the execution result of the destination node of the current flit.
