Systems-on-Chip (SoC) architectures have been shifting from single-core to multi-core solutions, and they are at present evolving towards many-core ones. Network-on-Chip (NoC) is considered as a promising interconnection scheme for many-core SoCs since it offers better scalability than traditional bus-based interconnection. In this work, we have developed a fast simulator of NoC architectures u...

Current multiand many-core computing typically involves multi-core Central Processing Units (CPU) and many-core Graphical Processing Units (GPU) whose architectures are distinctly different. To keep longevity of application codes, it is highly desirable to have a programming paradigm to support these current and future architectures. Open Computing Language (OpenCL) is created to address this p...

Due to the growing demand on high performance and low power in embedded systems, many core architectures are proposed the most suitable solutions. While the design concentration of many core embedded systems is switching from computation-centric to communication-centric, Network-on-Chip (NoC) is one of the best interconnect techniques for such architectures because of the scalability and high c...

In the past decades, high-performance computing has played key role to advance the emerging technologies from social netorks, search engines, and cell phones to humanoid robotics. The ver-increasing growth of high-performance computing has continously brought more opportunities for system designers to revisit oth enterprise and end-user applications. The significant advanceent of high-performan...

Many-core computing is the future. CPU architectures are not getting any faster. Continued performance gains must come from many-core technologies such as GPUs or the Intel Xeon Phi. GPUs are widely known for their role in games, high-performance computing, and high FLOPS/watt ratio. However, graph algorithms are data-intensive, not compute intensive, and have degree dependent parallelism. As a...
