Survey of NoC and Programming Models Proposals for MPSoC

The aim of this paper is to give briefing of the concept of network-on-chip and programming model topics on multiprocessors System-on-Chip world, an attractive and relatively new field for academia. Numerous proposals from academia and industry are selected to highlight the evolution of the implementation approaches both on NoC proposals and on programming models proposals. Future embedded System-on-Chip (SoC) will probably be made up of tens or hundreds of heterogeneous Intellectual Properties (IP) cores, which will execute one parallel application or even several applications running in parallel.
