The Next Generation SOC Processor for Emerging on-Chip Functionalities

The system on chip is an integrated circuit that integrates all components of electronic system into a single chip. It may contain a digital, analog, mixed-signal and often radio-frequency functions all on a single chip substrate. SOC is believed to be more cost-effective than SIP since it increases the yield of the fabrication and because its packaging is simpler. In this project we designed a SOC processor to offer high multithreaded performance, as well as high single threaded performance from the same chip. It consists of 8 banks and 8 cores and each core consist of 8 threads of which 2 can be executed simultaneously. We implemented the core, bank, memory controller, network interface, MESI protocol into a single SOC chip. By implementing different techniques to this three functional blocks, which significantly improves the throughput, power performance and read/write abilities of the cores
