The variety of interconnection structures presently nowadays for SoC (System-on-Chip), bus and networkson-Chip NoCs, each of them with a wide set of setup parameters, provides a huge amount of design alternatives. Although the interconnection structure is a key SoC component, there are few design tools in order to set the appropriate configuration parameters for a given application at the first...

In this paper we consider the uplink transmission in MCCDMA systems (MultiCarrier Coded Division Multiple Access). To reduce the envelope fluctuations of the transmitted signals, the MC-CDMA signal associated to each MT (Mobile Terminal) is submitted to a clipping device,followed by a frequency-domain filtering operation. We define an iterative receiver that jointly performs the MUD (MultiUser ...

In this study, an integrated energy management strategy(IEMS) was proposed for a PHEV(Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle). The IEMS controls the engine on-off considering not only powertrain system(battery SOC, vehicle speed, accelerator pedal, brake pedal) but also thermal system condition such as cabin temperature. Analysis of the integrated powertrain and thermal system was conducted to enhance...

The goal of this end of term work is to evaluate the impact of the Network-on-Chip (NoC) parameters over the performance of applications on Multiprocessors Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs). Nowadays, MPSoCs have so many constraints of performance that bus-based communications are not able to achieve the full potential of MPSoCs. Therefore, the adoption of networks-on-chip (NoCs) is a trend for the comm...

The design of appropriate communication architectures for complex Systems-on-Chip (SoC) is a challenging task. One promising alternative to solve these problems are Networks-on-Chip (NoCs). Recently, the application of deterministic and stochastic Petri-Nets (DSPNs) to model on-chip communication has been proven to be an attractive method to evaluate and explore different communication aspects....

The aim of this paper is to develop and test metrics to quantitatively identify technological discontinuities in a knowledge network. We developed five metrics based on innovation theories and tested the metrics by a simulation model-based knowledge network and hypothetically designed discontinuity. The designed discontinuity is modeled as a node which combines two different knowledge streams a...

In this paper, we describe the design flow, architecture and implementation of our 3D multiprocessor with NoC. The design based on 16 processors communicating using a 4x2x2 mesh NoC spread on two tiers is discussed in detail and will be fabricated using Tezzaron technology with 130 nm Global Foundaries low power standard library. The purpose of this work is to accurately measure NoC performance...

This paper suggests a novel form of audiovisual performancelive writingthat transforms creative writing into a realtime performing art. The process of typing a poem on the fly is captured and augmented to create an audiovisual performance that establishes natural links among the components of typing gestures, the poem being written on the fly, and audiovisual artifacts. Live writing draws upon ...
