Abstract

A high-energy-efficiency task-driven dynamic on-chip interconnect communication method based on Q-learning belongs to the field of on-chip interconnection of computer systems. The present invention adopts an adaptive topology structure to map tasks, and divides different areas for task processing according to the characteristics of the tasks. This method can allocate specific on-chip resources and topology structure types to each task, thereby saving on-chip resource consumption. Through the adaptive topology structure, the system can flexibly adjust the connection relationship and routing method in the on-chip network according to the needs and characteristics of the task. At the same time, by dividing different areas, the processing processes of different tasks can be isolated, minimizing the occurrence of interference and conflicts. Using the Q-learning reinforcement learning algorithm to dynamically change the transmission direction and the number of virtual channels of the routing algorithm with the goal of low latency and low power consumption during task operation can effectively achieve a balance between performance and power consumption in the on-chip network.
