From Editor's Desk Dear Researcher, Greetings!

Research article in this issue discusses about Study of Elliptical Core Step Index,Reduction in Packet Delay Through the use of Common Buffer.

Let us review research around the world this month; Biofuel that's better than carbon neutral. The green sludge burbles away quietly in its tangle of tubes in the Spanish desert. Soaking up sunshine and carbon dioxide from a nearby factory, it grows quickly. Every day, workers skim off some sludge and take it away to be transformed into oil. People do in a single day what it took geology 400 million years to accomplish.

If touch computing is the future, The new Amazon Kindle Fire costs $199. Amazon's advantages the company owns an entire content store of movies, e-books, TV shows and other media. With tablet devices, the hardware is somewhat important but the content available for the device is absolutely critical. Data will be driving point for success.

Celebrities turn to encryption to keep phones private they increasingly placing their bets on emerging smartphone technologies that foil eavesdroppers by encrypting voice and text data in real time. One such technology hails from GSMK, based in Berlin, Germany. Its CryptoPhones are commercial smartphones that use military-grade encryption algorithms to ensure that calls, texts and voicemails - when passing between people with similar secure devices are all but unhackable. These cost around €2000 per handset. But now a rival has entered the fray with a much cheaper approach.

Abstract —This paper is interested to study the propagation characteristics of the elliptical core step index fiber by the marcatili’s method. With the help of this method, we can analyze the elliptical core fiber and extract its birefringence and chromatic dispersion behaviors at different wavelengths. Also the study of optical and geometrical structural parameters influences on the birefringence, dispersion and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is done.

I. INTRODUCTION Elliptical core fibers have many applications such as in coherent optical communication systems [1] fiber optic sensors [2], and acousto-optic frequency shifters [3].

There are numerical, approximate and experimental methods for analysis of elliptical core fiber. Propagation characteristics of elliptical core optical fibers with any ellipticity can be obtained exactly using a series of Mathieu Functions [4], and using simple approximate methods like effective-index method [5], Marcatili’s method [6] and experimental method like white-light spectral interferometry [7,8]. Because propagation characteristics of elliptical core fibers are nearly to those of a rectangular-core waveguide having the same core area and aspect ratio [9], in this letter we using marcatili’s method.

The rectangular core dimensions are chosen such that it and the elliptical core have the same area and aspect ratio (i.e. a/a′ =b/b′ =(π)1/2 /2) [9]. The key assumption made in marcatili's analysis is that the mode is well guided [6], i.e., most of its guided power is contained within the core region on the other hand, far from the cutoff. Most of the power travels in core region and a small part travels in cladding region. Hence, Maxwell’s equations can be solved by assuming relatively simple sinusoidal and exponential field distributions. Rectangular dielectric waveguide is found to support a discrete number of guided modes that can x y be grouped in two families, Epq and Epq [10]. The subindex p and q indicate the number of extreme of the electric or magnetic field in the x and y directions, x respectively. The components of the Epq mode are Ex, y Ez, Hx, Hy, and Hz, with Ey=0. The components of the Epq x mode are Ey, Ex, Ez, Hz, and Hx , with Hy=0. The Epq mode has Ex and Hy as principal field components, and the Epqy mode has Ey and Hx as principal field x y components. E11 and E11 are the fundamental modes. x y We consider only the case Epq mode, as Epq mode can be treated similarly. According to Marcatili’s method the propagation constant (β) of these modes are determined from: (1) β 2 = k 2n 12 − k x2 − k y2

II. ANALYSIS We consider a step – index elliptical core fiber with n1 and n2 as the core and the cladding refractive indices, respectively, and a′ and b′ as the semimajor and semiminor axes of the core ellipse. Now we approximate elliptical-core fiber with a rectangular dielectric waveguide as illustrated in Fig.1.

At first, the influence of • (called Ellipticity) on the birefringence is extracted and demonstrated in Fig. 2.

From these curves, it is clear that birefringence of elliptical core fiber is increased by increasing the ellipticity of the core and birefringence increases slightly with the increase in wavelength. In other words, the more ellipticity, the better polarization maintenance.

Fig. 3. Variation of birefringence versus wavelength for different ∆

It is well known that fibers with large birefringence are used to preserve the polarization state of the incident light over large distance. Large birefringence can be achieved by asymmetric waveguide geometry such as an elliptical core fiber. Modes in an elliptical core fiber are nondegenerate. Elliptical core is used to introduce birefringence in order to maintain the polarization thus elliptical optical fibers are one type of the polarization maintain fibers.

Birefringence is defined by : ∆β = (βx - βy) / k x Where βx and βy are the propagation constants of Epq y and Epq modes, respectively.

Fig. 3 illustrates the variation of the birefringence as a function of wavelength for different refractive index differences. It is evident that the birefringence of such elliptical core fibers is grown up proportional to ∆, that high index difference necessary to give a sufficiently large birefringence.

The propagation constant varies with wavelength, thus the group velocity depends on wavelength too and, consequently, different spectral components of the signal will travel with different group velocities. This

phenomenon is called chromatic dispersion and since chromatic dispersion limits the performance of fibers, we have evaluated this parameter in the elliptical core fiber.

From Fig. 4 which shows dispersion curves versus wavelength for different ellipticities, it is clear that the dispersion decreases with ellipticity increasing and zerodispersion wavelength shifts to a higher value of wavelength.

Elliptical core fiber are engineered in such a way that the two orthogonally polarized modes are forced to travel at different propagation constant, group velocities between the fundamental modes is zero but where there is a large enough difference in the phase velocities to preserve polarization. Fig. 6 illustrates variation of the Polarization mode dispersion versus wavelength for different ∆. It is observed that the elliptical core fiber with large index difference hold polarization well.

The results prove the strong dependence of the Polarization mode dispersion on the fiber core ellipticity i.e. Polarization mode dispersion increases strongly with core ellipticity. It is clear from this figures that Polarization mode dispersion becomes zero with careful design, the optical and geometrical parameters of elliptical core fiber. i.e. elliptical core fiber reduces mode coupling between orthogonal modes.

IV. CONCLUSION Using marcatili’s method we have obtained birefringence, dispersion and polarization mode dispersion at elliptical core optical fiber. we show that birefringence of elliptical core fibers can be increased by increasing the ellipticity of the core or the index difference ∆ between the core and cladding and high value of birefringence is usually desired to maintain the polarization. We show that at elliptical core optical fiber, birefringence can be increased and zero Polarization mode dispersion can be obtained.

Abstract — The continuous innovation of semiconductor technology enables more complex System on-Chip (SoC) designs. Tens, even hundreds of intellectual properties (IPs) are integrated into an SoC to provide various functions, including communications, networking, multimedia, storage, etc. The bus scheme connects multiple IP cores with a cost efficient shared medium. The bus-based scheme still fails to satisfy the requirements of future SoC mainly due to two major drawbacks. Non-scalable and the bandwidth is shared by all IPs and thus the bus becomes the performance bottleneck when more and more IPs are connected. In order to interconnect such a high number of elements on a die, researchers have turned to Network On Chip as a replacement to conventional shared buses and ad-hoc wiring solutions. They are attractive due to their regularity and modular design, which can lead to better routability, electrical characteristics and fault tolerance.

A Simulink model later simulated on MATLAB to calculate the improvement in packet delay. It has been observed that the delay improved by approximately 40% through the use of a common buffer. A verilog RTL for both common and shared buffer has been prepared and later synthesized using Design Compiler of SYNOPSYS. In distributed buffer, arrival of data packet could be delayed by 2 or 4 clock cycles which lead to latency improvement either by 17 % or 34 % in a common buffer

Keywords: Arrival rate ( λ ), service rate, FIFO, latency, Simulink model, packet array, IP mapping.

I. INTRODUCTION A packet-switched 2-D mesh is the most used and studied topology so far. It is also a sort of an average NOC currently. Good results and interesting proposals provoke design engineers to use this topology as the base [1] .The key research problems in the design of NOCs include but are not limited to topology, channel width, buffer size, floor plan, routing, switching, scheduling, and IP mapping [2]. Additionally, [3] lists research issues to be application modeling and optimization, NOC communication architecture analysis and optimization, NOC communication architecture evaluation, and NOC design validation and synthesis.

The most important metrics for NOCs are application runtime, silicon area, power consumption, latency and throughput. All these are to be minimized and usually appropriate trade-off is sought [4]. The required silicon area is the most commonly reported value (77%) followed by latency (55%) and maximum operating frequency (50%). The other metrics have lower occurrence [1].

Performance evaluation of the routing node in terms of latency is the characteristics of an efficient design of Buffer in input module. It is intended to study and quantify the behavior of the single packet array design in relation to the multiple packet array design. The utilization efficiency of the packet buffer array improves when a common buffer is used instead of individual buffers in each input port.

First Poisson’s Queuing model was prepared to manifest the differences in packet delays. The queuing model can be classified as (M/M/1); (32;FIFO). Arrival rate has been assumed to be Poisson distributed with a mean arrival 6. rate ( λ ) of 10 x 10 The service rate is assumed to be exponentially distributed with a mean service rate of 10.05 6. x 10 It has been observed that latency in Common Buffer improved by 46% over its distributed buffer.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY AND CREATIVE ENGINEERING (ISSN:2045-8711) VOL.2 NO.12 DECEMBER 2012 In this regard, the current work is related to optimization of buffers in the router design so as to achieve lower latency. The router consists of four major components: Crossbar, Switch, FIFO & Buffers, see fig.

1.1. The no. of buffers in the routing node are dependent on the type of topology and the no of adjacent nodes [1].

In 2D Mesh NoC topology, a node may have four adjacent contemporary nodes. In the existing work [3], the routing node holds four buffers each to accommodate input stream of data from adjacent node.

The buffers are also referred as packet arrays hold the stream of the incoming packets and dispatch them once scheduling is done.

crossbar. Topology defines their logical lay-out (connections) whereas floor plan defines the physical layout. The function of a network interface (adapter) is to decouple computation (the resources) from communication (the network). Routing decides the path taken from source to the destination whereas switching and flow control policies define the timing of transfers [2][5]. Task scheduling refers to the order in which the application tasks are executed and task mapping defines which processing element (PE) executes certain task. IP mapping, on the other hand, defines how PEs and other resources are connected to the NoC.

A. Router Structure NOC architectures are based on packet-switched networks, see figure 2.1.a. This has led to new and efficient principles for design of routers for NOC [6].

Assume that a router for the mesh topology has four inputs and four outputs from/to other routers, and another input and output from/to the Network Interface (NI). Routers can implement various functionalities from simple switching to intelligent routing. Since embedded systems are constrained in area and power consumption, but still need high data rates, routers must be designed with hardware usage in mind. For circuitswitched networks, routers may be designed with no queuing (buffering). For packet-switched networks, some amount of buffering is needed, to support bursty data transfers [3].

Fig. 1.1 A generalized 2D Mesh NoC

II. OVERVIEW OF NETWORK ON CHIP ARCHITECTURE

Buffers can be provided at the input, at the output, or at both input and output [7].Various designs and implementations of router architectures based on different routing strategies have been proposed in the literature. Wolkotte et al. proposed a circuit switched router architecture for NOC [8], while Dally and Towles proposed a packet switched router architecture [9].

Albenes and Frederico provided a wormhole-based packet forwarding design for a NOC switch [10].

In this paper, the buffers in the design of the routers are based on the principle of virtual output queuing since it is simple and reduces the risk of Head of Line Blocking [11] [12] [13]. In this paper, the scheduling policy embodied in the router is based on Iterative SLIP algorithm. iSLIP uses round-robin to choose on port among those contending. This permits simpler hardware implementations compared, besides making iSLIP faster. iSLIP achieves close to maximal matches after just one or two iterations.. iSLIP achieves 100%

Fig. 2.1 Generic NOC structure

A NOC consists of routers/switch, links, and network interfaces (Fig. 2.1). Routers direct data over several links (hops). Routers further consists of a scheduler, buffer to store the incoming data packet and the

Even though its behavior may be unstable under bursty traffic, iSLIP is commonly implemented in commercial switches due to its simplicity [14]. This algorithm becomes more silicon area efficient if it is implemented with its folding concept [15].

packet array. Queue size is dynamically determined depending on the arrival pattern of the data. If more data is destined for output port “m”, then correspondingly, more buffer space, and hence, a longer queue is maintained for data packets to be routed to output port “m,” subject to the maximum space available in the packet array (Fig.3.1).

An alternative design is based on using a common packet for all the input ports. For example, if the crossbar switch consists of four input ports, then the original design calls for four packet arrays. The proposed design would utilize one common packet array for all the four input ports (Fig.3.2).

It is intended to study and quantify the behavior of the single packet array design in relation to the multiple packet array design. Intuitively, a common packet buffer would result in better utilization of available buffer space.

This in turn would translate into lower delays in transmission.

2) Latency for N = 128: In this case four input queues are merged into a single input queues of capacity 128.

Since all the sources put data into the same queues, arrival rate is assumed to be 4 times higher. The servicing rate is also assumed to be four times higher.

Traffic intensity remains same at 0.995.

Some assumptions have been made regarding arrival rate and service rate of packets. Arrival has been assumed to be Poisson distributed with a mean arrival rate ( λ ) of 10 x 106. The service rate is assumed to be exponentially distributed with a mean service rate of 10.05 x 106. Traffic intensity • = • / • = 0.995.

In the first model there are four independent queues each having capacity of 32 packets. The queuing model can be classified as (M/M/1); (32;FIFO) [18]. The system stops taking further input when queue size reaches 32.

The first block is labeled “Exponential Distribution1.”

This block specifies packet arrival time. The packet arrival pattern is an exponential distribution. The block labeled “Packet Source1” generates packet events. The “Set Attribute1” block combines the effects of “Exponentia Distribution1” with “Packet Source1” to generate packet entities at time intervals specified by the exponential distribution mentioned above. The arrival of a packet event at the “Start Timer2” block causes the simulation timer to start. Generated packets are stored in a common 128 packet buffer designated “Common Buffer.” The packets leave the common buffer when they are serviced by the scheduler vector. The scheduler vector is generated for four input ports by “4x Scheduler Vector.” The total number of packets served are recorded in the “Number Serve1” block. Whenever a packet leaves the buffer, the departure time is recorded by the “Read Timer.” The packet exits the simulation flow through the “Entity Sink1” block. The average time spent by the packet in the buffer is captured by the “Average Delay1” block.

The behavior of the dedicated 32 packet buffer model differs only in two components, “Output Switch” and “Path Combiner.” The “Output Switch” block demultiplexes the generated packets into their respective input port packet buffers. The “Path Combiner” aggregates the output stream to help calculate total number of packets served and average time spent by packet waiting for service. The simulation was run for 50000 packets. The packet generation rates for both models are identical, using the exponential distribution for inter-arrival times. Multiple simulation runs were performed to verify the average delays observed.

VII. CONCLUSION

[1] Salminen et al., survey of network-on-chip proposals, white paper, @ OCP-IP, march 2008.

The utilization of buffer memory space is improved by replacing separate buffers in each input block with a shared buffer common to all input blocks. This is manifested in the form of lower delay in transferring a packet from the input to the output. First Poisson’s Queuing model was prepared to manifest the difference in latencies. It has been observed that latency in Common Buffer improved by 46% over its distributed buffer.

A Simulink model later simulated on MATLAB to calculate the improvement in packet delay. It has been observed that the delay improved by approximately 40% through the use of a common buffer.

A verilog RTL for both common and shared buffer has been prepared and later synthesized using Design Compiler of SYNOPSYS. In distributed buffer, arrival of data packet could be delayed by 2 or 4 clock cycles under heavy and undistributed traffic. Under such circumstances, latency improvement could be claimed either by 17 % or 34 % in a common buffer.
