Networks-on-chip (NoCs) are proposed as promising packet-based communication platforms for multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC) design, due to scalability, better throughput and reduced power consumption [1]. NoC-based architectures are characterized by various trade-offs with regard to structural characteristics, performance specifications, and application demands. However, increasing the nu...

PURPOSE This study determined the effects of oleoresin capsicum (OC) and nanoemulsion OC (NOC) on obesity in obese rats fed a high-fat diet. METHODS THE RATS WERE RANDOMLY SEPARATED INTO THREE GROUPS: a high-fat (HF) diet group, HF + OC diet group, and HF + NOC diet group. All groups were fed the diet and water ad libitum for 14 weeks. RESULTS NOC reduced the body weight and adipose tissue ...

Network-on-Chip (NoC) is a power architecture that emerged to solve communication issues present in modern Systems-on-Chip (SoCs). NoC based architectures are very scalable and offer high levels of communication parallelism, among other features. Every efficient NoC implementation requires several design steps to accomplish indices of performance. Although there are many system level models, hi...

Network-on-Chip (NoC) has been introduced to meet the communication challenges for on chip multi-processors and the bandwidth of NoC takes a significant role in area and power consumption of overall system. In order to minimize the bandwidth requirement of NoC, a mapping method is proposed to schedule the tasks of an application onto NoC architecture. More precisely, given the application task ...

The opiate-like peptide nociceptin/orphanin FQ (Noc) and its receptor [opiate receptor-like receptor (ORL-1)] are highly expressed in the hippocampus. Noc has inhibitory postsynaptic actions in CA1, CA3, and the dentate and seems to lack the disinhibitory, excitatory actions demonstrated for some opiate peptides in the hippocampus. The CA3 hippocampal region is important in the generation of hi...

At the spinal level, nociceptin/orphanin FQ (Noc/OFQ) produces pronociceptive and allodynic effects at low doses (picogram range), while causing antinociceptive effects at high doses (microgram range). The discrepancy of pain modulation by Noc/OFQ at low and high doses raised a question whether Noc/OFQ exerted actions through the same Noc/OFQ receptor. In the present study, we examined the invo...

The rapid development of Network-on-Chip (NoC) calls for a systematic approach to evaluate and fairly compare various NoC architectures. In this specification, we define a generic NoC architecture, a comprehensive set of synthetic workloads as micro-benchmarks, workload scenarios and evaluation criteria. These micro-benchmarks enable to measure and pinpoint particular properties of NoC architec...

Streaming applications demand hard bandwidth and throughput guarantees in a multiprocessor environment amidst resource competing processes. We present a Label Switching based Network-on-Chip (LSNoC) motivated by throughput guarantees offered by bandwidth reservation. Label switching is a packet relaying technique in which individual packets carry route information in the form of labels. A centr...

Networks-on-Chip (NoC) are scalable interconnects for Systems-on-Chip (SoC). An event-based NoC monitoring service has been developed within the DEMONS project which supports runtime observability of NoC behavior. Runtime NoC performance monitoring is an instance of this monitoring service and enables observation of performance measures such as connection latency and link utilization, while a s...

Network on Chip (NoC) is proposed as a promising technology to address the communication challenges in deep sub-micron era. NoC brings network-based communication into the on-chip environment and tackles the problems like long wire complexities, bandwidth scaling and so on. After more than a decade's evolution and development, there are many NoC architectures and solutions available. Neverthele...
