About this title

Synopsis

On high-performance embedded computing, we are witnessing the trend to integrate multiple cores in Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs). Networks- on-chip (NoCs) have been proposed to be a scalable, predictable and flexible paradigm to design complex NoC-based Many-core MPSoCs. However, since the number of cores increases exponentially, new challenges such as the design of suitable NoCs, and how to exploit parallelism on a chip arise. In this book, we showour EDA tool (xENoC - NoCMaker) that allows design, simulation and fast-prototype of NoC-based systems, as well as the trade-offs on the design of Network Interfaces (NI) to provide interoperability between cores of different protocols (AMBA/OCP-IP) with Quality-of-Service (QoS) support at a reasonable power and area costs. In the second part, the book tries to shed light on system-level software, runtime QoS support and middleware APIs, and a MPI-like parallel programming model (ocMPI), which offers SW programmers a way to express message-passing parallelism on NoC-based MPSoCs. This book should be especially useful for researchers on the field of parallel embedded computing on many- core on-chip systems.

About the Author

Mr. Jaume Joven received his M.Sc. (2004) and Ph.D degree (2009) in Computer Science from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). His research interests are focused on HW-SW design of NoC-based MPSoCs, ranging from circuit design up to system-level SW, runtime middleware and parallel programming models. He is currently a postdoc at EPFL.
