Abstract
With Moore’s law approaching its physical limitations, the exponential growth of pin density and clock frequency on an integrated circuit has ended. The microprocessor clock frequencies have almost ceased to grow since 2014, instead of doubling every 36 months before 2005. Based on this observation, we propose a novel architecture to implement a configurable high-radix router with wider internal ports but lower arbitration radices. With some special features of our proprietary communication stack which can dynamically bind available physical lanes to provide robust data transmission to the upper network layer, our Pisces router can flexibly operate at radix-24/48/96 mode with different bandwidth per port. The simulation results demonstrate Pisces switch achieves stable high throughput under all traffic models. Furthermore, due to the relieved port contention and burst-tolerance attributes, Pisces router reduces the packet delay by over 59% compared to MBTR or YARC, under unbalanced traffic models at full load.
