A network-on-chip simulation framework for homogeneous multi-processor system-on-chip by Hau, Yuan Wen, Marsono, Muhammad Nadzir, Chia, Yee Ooi, Hani, M. Khalil

“…In this paper, we describe the development of the extended NoC framework which includes the definitions of synchronization and data communication protocol, interprocess communication module, network interface architecture design, and device driver. Experimental result shows that the extended platform enables early NoC-based MPSoC system functionality estimation and provides NoC performance analysis with higher accuracy by considering the actual traffic trace according to the target application.…”
