A SDN Solution for System-on-Chip World

System on chips (SoCs) are all around us in today's world. Therefore, in this paper we propose a flexible, technology-aware SoC design, named as Cloud-of-Chips (CoC), which is able to change its characteristics, such as routing logic, transmission paths, priorities, IC clustering, etc. We focus particularly on inside communication of CoC architecture. The basic idea of CoC is the creation of an architecture, which will be able to support all the requirements of a vast number of todays applications by adopting and changing its characteristics according to them. The valorization perspectives are of importance since the outcomes of this research will be applicable for embedded systems, real-time systems, communication systems, as well as for mainstream systems such as Internet-of-Things and Internet-of-Everything. As far as the inside communication of our CoC platform is concerned, we leverage on algorithms and strategies developed within the field of Software Defined Networking (SDN), which was introduced to deal with hardware redesign and ultimately provide cloud-like flexibility. At the end, we describe registration and authentication of every entity in our network.
