CoreVA-MPSoC: A Many-Core Architecture with Tightly Coupled Shared and Local Data Memories.

MPSoCs with hierarchical communication infrastructures are promising architectures for low power embedded systems. Multiple CPU clusters are coupled using an Network-on-Chip (NoC). Our CoreVA-MPSoC targets streaming applications in embedded systems, like signal and video processing. In this work we introduce a tightly coupled shared data memory to each CPU cluster, which can be accessed by all CPU...
