Networks-on-Chips

An exploration of design methodologies, CAD tool development, and system testing, as well as communication protocol, the text highlights important emerging research issues, such as

* Resource Allocation for Quality of Service (QoS) on-chip communication

* Testing, verification, and network design methodologies

* Architectures for interconnection, real-time monitoring, and security requirements

* Networks-on-Chip Protocols

Presents a flexible MPSoC platform to easily implement multimedia applications and evaluate future video encoding standards.

This useful guide tackles power and energy issues in NoC-based designs, addressing the power constraints that currently limit the embedding of more processing elements on a single chip. It covers traffic modeling and discusses the details of traffic generators.

Using unique case studies and examples, it covers theoretical and practical issues, guiding readers through every phase of system design.
