ABSTRACT
Multi Processor SoC (MPSoC) are being designed today. MPSoC design can help achieve aggressive performance and low power targets but it creates new design challenges: How to design the interconnect fabric and memory sub-system to allow the massive data movement required in a multi processor SoC environment? How to develop, debug and verify HW and SW functionality in a MPSoC design? Is MPSoC design an inflection point that will require new design methods including ESL methodologies?

An improved transmission scheme for error-prone inter-chip network-on-chip communication links implemented on FPGAs
FPGAworld '13: Proceedings of the 10th FPGAworld ConferenceNetwork-on-Chip (NoC) is an alternative to traditional busses for faster interconnect mechanism. The aim is to have infinite scalability, and this implies the possibility to extend the on-chip NoC communication protocol off-chip. To gain wholesome ...
Streamlined network-on-chip for multicore embedded architectures
ARCS'12: Proceedings of the 25th international conference on Architecture of Computing SystemsMPSoCs are becoming complex systems incorporating a large number of compute cores as well as various accelerators and application specific units. To handle the communication in MPSoCs, the Network-on-Chip (NoC) concept has been proposed as a versatile ...
Design and implementation of a plesiochronous multi-core 4x4 network-on-chip FPGA platform with MPI HAL support
FPGAworld '09: Proceedings of the 6th FPGAworld ConferenceThe Multi-Core NoC is a 4 by 4 Mesh NoC targeted for Altera FPGAs. It implements a deflective routing policy and is used to connect sixteen NIOS II processors. Each NIOS II is connected to the NoC via an address-mapped Resource Network Interface.
