Keynote

 

Dr. Jose Duato, Professor of Computer Architecture and Technology, Technical University of Valencia (Spain),

 

"Beyond the Power and Memory Walls: The Role of NoCs in Future System Architectures."

 

 

Abstract: Although most research on NoCs has assumed the use ofregular topologies like 2D meshes, some current trends in chip architecture, combined with expected technology limitations and usage models, will very likely oblige designers to consider less regular topologies to provide the best cost-performance trade-off. Moreover, the set of nodes interconnected by those NoCs will also be heterogeneous, including computational cores of different sizes and computing power, cache blocks and local stores, accelerators of different kinds, and memory controllers. The memory wall problem will likely be addressed by using 3D integration, which will increase heterogeneity significantly, due to the need for locating the hottest cores in the top layer.

Therefore, in order to deliver the best cost-performance trade-off while minimizing resource and power consumption and providing the maximum flexibility, heterogeneity needs appropriate hardware support in the NoC. This talk motivates the need for efficiently supporting heterogeneity, and sketches some results along this direction, describing power-efficient routing algorithms that provide support for multiple heterogeneous, possibly overlapping regions (e.g. virtual machines, coherence domains) in the presence of faulty components. The talk also shows how a hierarchical interconnect (on-chip, on-substrate) can significantly shorten design cost and time to market.
 

Bio: Jose Duato received the MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the Technical University of Valencia, Spain, in 1981 and 1985, respectively. Currently, Dr. Duato is Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering (DISCA) at the same university. He was also an adjunct professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science, The Ohio State University.

His current research interests include interconnection networks and multiprocessor architectures. Prof. Duato has published over 400 refereed papers. He proposed a powerful theory of deadlock-free adaptive routing for wormhole networks. Versions of this theory have been used in the design of the routing algorithms for the MIT Reliable Router, the Cray T3E supercomputer, the on-chip router of the Alpha 21364 microprocessor, and the IBM BlueGene/L supercomputer. Prof. Duato also developed RECN, the only truly scalable congestion management technique proposed to date, and a very efficient routing algorithm for fat trees that has been incorporated into Sun Microsystem's 3456-port InfiniBand Magnum switch. Currently, Prof. Duato leads the Advanced Technology Group in the HyperTransport Consortium, which developed the High Node Count HyperTransport Specification 1.0 to extend the device addressing capabilities of HyperTransport in several orders of magnitude.

Prof. Duato is the first author of the book "Interconnection Networks:  An Engineering Approach". Dr. Duato served as a member of the editorial boards of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE Transactions on Computers, and IEEE Computer Architecture Letters. He has been the General Co-Chair for the 2001 International Conference on Parallel Processing, the Program Committee Chair for the Tenth International Symposium on High Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA-10), and the Program Co-Chair for the 2005 International Conference on Parallel Processing. Also, he served as Co-Chair, member of the Steering Committee, Vice-Chair, or member of the Program Committee in more than 60 conferences, including the most prestigious conferences in his area (HPCA, ISCA, IPPS/SPDP, IPDPS, ICPP, ICDCS, Europar, HiPC).
