SimpCon – a Simple and Efficient SoC Interconnect

New Built-In Self-Test Scheme for SoC Interconnect

Interconnect testing in a SoC environment is a new area of research. It represents a further development of traditional board-level testing with respect to the new interconnect paradigm, new fault models, and required high level of autonomy. This article analyzes available interconnect self-test solutions and comes up with a new BIST scheme for at-speed testing of SoC interconnect. We adapt a r...

X. Networks on Chips: Energy-efficient design of SoC interconnect

An overview about Networks-on-Chip with multicast suppor

Modern System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms typically consist of multiple processors and a communication interconnect between them. Network-on-Chip (NoC) arises as a solution to interconnect these systems, which provides a scalable, reusable, and an efficient interconnect. For these SoC platforms, multicast communication is significantly used for parallel applications. Cache coherency in distributed ...

Nexus: an asynchronous crossbar interconnect for synchronous system-on-chip designs

Asynchronous circuits can provide an elegant and high performance interconnect solution for synchronous systemon-chip (SoC) designs with multiple clock domains. This “globally asynchronous, locally synchronous” (GALS) approach simplifies global timing and synchronization problems, improving performance, reliability, and development time. Fulcrum Microsystems’ SoC interconnect, “Nexus”, includes...

The Effect of Land use and Soil Erosion on Soil Organic Carbon and Nitrogen Stock

  Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a principal component in soil quality assessment. Knowledge of SOC and total nitrogen (TN) stocks are important keys to understand the role of SOC in the global carbon cycle and, as a result, in the mitigation of global greenhouse effects. SOC and TN stocks are functions of the SOC concentration and the bulk density of the soil that are prone to changes, influe...
