摘要

Subnet-based wireless network-on-chip (WNoC) architecture often experiences inefficient core utilization, leading to localized overheating and performance loss. This study introduces a hop-based approach that selects cores for wireless router assignment without forming subnets and schedules jobs with fairness by assigning tasks to the coolest cores. This approach aims to maintain balanced heat distribution across WNoC cores while improving performance. Wireless router cores are chosen so that the maximum hop count from any core to the nearest wireless router remains fixed. Jobs are scheduled using an improved shortest remaining job first (SRJF) algorithm for fairness, and cores are selected based on their lowest Heat Indicator (HI) values. We simulate 49-, 81-, and 144-core WNoC in 1-hop, 2-hop, and 3-hop configurations using benchmark-inspired 184 jobs. Simulation results show that the 2-hop WNoC achieves fair heat distribution and provides a balanced performance across the evaluated metrics, reducing the number of wireless routers compared to hop-1 and lowering latency and power consumption compared to existing subnet-based WNoC systems.
