NoC System Generator: a Tool for Fast Prototyping of Multi-Core Systems on FPGAs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Programming and debugging of Multi-Core systems is hard. We present a Fast Prototyping tool that can generate a complete Multi-core system targeted for single-chip FPGA solutions, including software synthesis, reducing design time from weeks to a couple of hours. The system is NoC-based and configured using an XML-file. By selecting the number and type of processors for each node, both homoand heterogeneous systems can be specified. Switching from Altera to Xilinx is done automatically.

Modular Asynchronous Network-on-Chip: Application to GALS Systems Rapid Prototyping
This paper presents an innovating methodology for fast and easy design of Asynchronous Network-on-Chips (ANoCs) dedicated to GALS systems. A topologyindependent building-block approach permits to design modular, scalable and reliable ANoCs with low-power and low-complexity requirements. A crossbar generator is added to the existing design flow for fast system architecture exploration. A multi-c...
متن کاملDesign of a novel congestion-aware communication mechanism for wireless NoC architecture in multicore systems
Hybrid Wireless Network-on-Chip (WNoC) architecture is emerged as a scalable communication structure to mitigate the deficits of traditional NOC architecture for the future Multi-core systems. The hybrid WNoC architecture provides energy efficient, high data rate and flexible communications for NoC architectures. In these architectures, each wireless router is shared by a set of processing core...
متن کاملA hardware/software platform for QoS bridging over multi-chip NoC-based systems
Recent embedded systems integrate a growing number of intellectual property cores into increasingly large designs. Implementation, prototyping, and verification of such large systems has become very challenging. One of the reasons is that chips/FPGAs resources are limited and therefore it is not always possible to implement the whole design in the traditional system-on-a-chip solutions. The sta...
متن کاملA Parameterizable NoC Router for FPGAs
The Network-on-Chip (NoC) approach for designing (System-on-Chip) SoCs is currently used for overcoming the scalability and efficiency problems of traditional on-chip interconnection schemes, such as shared buses and point-to-point links. NoC design draws on concepts from computer networks to interconnect Intellectual Property (IP) cores in a structured and scalable way, promoting design re-use...
متن کاملOnchip Interconnect Exploration for Multicore Processors Utilizing FPGAs
Dual core microprocessors are currently available and higher processor-count architectures will dominate the multicore market. A complex part of these higher order multicore designs will be the interconnection scheme that exists onchip and how exactly that interconnection is best used and configured. While FPGAs currently support a variety of onchip bus interconnects, there is a gap in the tool...
