Abstract

This paper analyzes the utilization of a network on chip (NoC) as the communication sub-system of a reconfigurable/parallel architecture. A router was designed and implemented in SystemC to analyze the NoC. With this routers the NoCX4 was created and simulated using coarse-grained reconfigurable microprocessor as processing nodes. To perform the simulation two approaches were used. The first one uses a load generator program and communication loads between 5% and 25%. The second is the calculation of 2D-DCT coefficients.
