To address the performance bottleneck in metal-based interconnects, hybrid optical network-on-chip (HONoC) has emerged as a new alternative. However, as the size of the HONoC grows, insertion loss and crosstalk noise increase, leading to excessive laser source output power and performance degradation. Therefore, we propose a low-power scalable HONoC architecture by incorporating semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). An SOA placement algorithm is developed considering insertion loss and crosstalk noise. Furthermore, we establish a worst-case crosstalk noise model of SOA-enabled HONoC and induce optimized SOA gains with respect to power consumption and performance, respectively. Extensive simulations for worst-case signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and power consumption are conducted under various traffic patterns and different network sizes. Simulation results show that the proposed SOA-enabled HONoC architecture and the associated algorithm help sustain the performance as network size increases without additional laser source power.

Multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) has become an attractive solution for improving the performance of single chip in objective to satisfy the performance growing exponentially of the computer applications as multimedia applications. However, the communication between the different processors’ cores presents the first challenge front the high performance of MPSoC. Besides, Network on Chip (NoC) is among the most prominent solution for handling the on-chip communication. Besides, NoC potential limited by physical limitation, power consumption, latency and bandwidth in the both case: increasing data exchange or scalability of Multicores. Optical communication offers a wider bandwidth and lower power consumption, based on, a new technology named Optical Network-on-Chip (ONoC) has been introduced in MPSoC. However, ONoC components induce the crosstalk noise in the network on both forms intra/inter crosstalk. This serious problem deteriorates the quality of signals and degrades network performance. As a result, detection and monitoring the impairments becoming a challenge to keep the performance in the ONoC. In this article, we propose a new system to detect and monitor the crosstalk noise in ONoC. Particularly, we present an analytic model of intra/inter crosstalk at the optical devices. Then, we evaluate these impairments in objective to present the motivation to detect and monitor crosstalk in ONoC, in which our system has the capability to detect, to localize, and to monitor the crosstalk noise in the whole network. This system offers high reliability, scalability and efficiency with time running time less than 20 ms.
