ICNT Bound

[Evane5cence]

Hi,
I found that the performance of ICNT performance is low, making my application bounded by it.
May I ask how can I tune the config file to increase the ICNT performance?
Thank you!

It seems that the Req_Network_conflicts_per_cycle is too high, and becomes the bottleneck.
How should I solve this?

You can try different scheduling algorithms. I believe default uses iSLIP_Advance()
