MpNoC Design: Modeling and Simulation
Simon Duquennoy, Philippe Marquet Samy Meftali, Jean‐Luc Dekeyser · 2006
MppSoC is a SIMD architecture composed of a grid of extended MIPS R3000 processors, called Processing Elements (PEs). This embedded system gives interesting performances in several modern applications based on parallel algorithms. Communication is clearly a key issue in such a system. In fact, regular communication between the PEs are assumed by a X-Net network, while point to point connections seem to be very tedious to realize using such a network. We present in this paper a model and an implementation of a communication network called mpNoC. This IP permits non-regular communications between PEs in an efficient way. MpNoC is integrated in the mppSoC platform. 1.
