Abstract— As modern computing systems become increasingly complex, communication efficiency among and inside chips has become as important as the computation speeds of individual processor cores. Traditionally, inter-chip and intra-chip communication architectures are separately designed to maximize design flexibility under different constraints. However, jointly designing communication architectures for both inter-chip and intra-chip communication could potentially yield better solutions. In this project, we present an inter/intra-chip optical network, called I2CON, for chip multiprocessors (CMP). I2CON is based on recent progress in nano-photonic technologies. It connects not only processors on a single CMP but also multiple CMPs in a system. I2CON employs a hierarchical optical network to separate inter-chip communication traffic from intra-chip communication traffic. It fully utilizes a single optical network to transmit both payload packets and control packets. The network controller on each CMP not only manages intra-chip communications but also collaborate with each other to facilitate inter-chip communications. By using the proper FSM we prove the communication is happen in the entire chip with reduced power consumption.
