MpNoC Design: Modeling and Simulation

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.

Design of a C library for the implementation of 3D graphics applications on a SoC

In this paper a new approach to the implementation of 3D graphics applications on a SoC architecture is described. This approach is meant to be particularly flexible, in order to be used in different kinds of systems: it is based on the realization of software libraries, that are developed using the C programming language.

A Unified Analog Design and Process Framework for Efficient Modeling and Synthesis

A fundamental characteristic of analog/RF technology development is the sensitivity of analog components/MEMS/circuits to the various manufacturability/performance trade offs that must be made. The iterative loop between designers and technologists during technology definition is critical for timely product development which is difficult to realize in practice! This problem is becoming a major stake especially at nanometer scale.
