Co-synthesis of a configurable SoC platform based on a network on chip architecture
Mário Pereira Véstias, Horácio C. Neto · 2006
The constant increase of gate capacity and performance of configurable hardware chips made it possible to implement systems-on-chip (SoC) able to tackle the demanding requirements of many embedded systems. In this paper, we propose an approach to the design space exploration of a configurable SoC (CSoC) platform based on a network on chip (NoC) architecture for the execution of dataflow dominated embedded systems. The approach has been validated with the design of a color image compression algorithm in an FPGA.
