A homogeneous many-core x86 processor full system framework based on NoC

With the development of processor technique, more and more processor cores are integrated in a single chip to achieve higher performance requirements. Network-on-Chip (NoC) is the substitute for bus interconnection on many-core processor framework. In this paper, we propose a NoC based homogeneous many-core x86 processor architecture with distributed shared memory and high speed Network Interface (NI). By integrating the GEMS computer system simulator and the Booksim NoC simulator, we design a many-core x86 processor full system framework. The experiment result of PARSEC benchmark shows that the framework is working efficiently with high performance.
