Design of The Rendezvous Mechanism In The Multi-Core AMBA System

In current chip multi-processors (CMPs), the on-chip network is a major factor affecting overall system performance. Different kinds of communication protocols vary from different communication architectures of current SOC designs. For example, the AMBA is master-slave architecture, which transacts and communicates the data of between the two CORE (Master) through the Memory (Slave). The architecture cost long time for load and store with memory. Hence, this paper design and implement a Rendezvous protocol on AMBA architecture, which is called Rendezvous of Advanced High performance Bus (RAHB), to let two processors can communicate with each other without memory reference overheads. The RAHB is compatible with the AHB architecture, and add Rendezvous communication protocol in the AMBA architecture to perform the direct transmission of data. Without referring the memory, the RAHB can improve the efficiency of communication in multi-core. For experimental evaluation, we evaluate the performance between RAHB and AHB, RAHB speedup (B/s) is average up to 50% for different data length and performance up 30% to 40% for executing test program.
