title = "PSION: Combining logical topology and physical layout optimization for wavelength-routed ONoCs",
abstract = "Optical Networks-on-Chip (ONoCs) are a promising solution for high-performance multi-core integration with better latency and bandwidth than traditional Electrical NoCs. Wavelength-routed ONoCs (WRONoCs) offer yet additional performance guarantees. However, WRONoC design presents new EDA challenges which have not yet been fully addressed. So far, most topology analysis is abstract, i.e., overlooks layout concerns, while for layout the tools available perform Place & Route (P&R) but no topology optimization. Thus, a need arises for a novel optimization method combining both aspects of WRONoC design. In this paper such a method, PSION, is laid out. When compared to the state-of-the-art design procedure, results show a 1.8× reduction in maximum optical insertion loss.",
