| 13 | | * The core of the platform is a library of SystemC simulation models for virtual components (IP cores), with a guaranteed path to silicon. |
| 14 | | * The project is funded by the french ''Agence Nationale pour la Recherche''. |
| 15 | | * 6 industrial companies and 11 laboratories are working together to build this platform |

| | 14 | ADAM stands for "Adaptive Dynamic Architecture for MP2SoCs". It is a prospective research project |
| | 15 | that directly addresses the hot topic of MPSoC self-adaptability to altered operating |
| | 16 | conditions, like loss of performance, appearance of faulty hardware resources, and |
| | 17 | temperature overhead. The architectures targeted by ADAM are MP2SoC, Massively |
| | 18 | Parallel MultiProcessor systems on chip (more than one hundred of processing elements) |
| | 19 | containing homogeneous functional blocks (all blocks can perform the work requested by |
| | 20 | the application), but structurally heterogeneous (with different and process dependant |
| | 21 | performances, electrical and timing characteristics and reliability). Taking simultaneously |
| | 22 | these problems into account is mandatory to ensure the reliability and competitiveness of |
| | 23 | embedded systems to come. |
| 34 | | = Technical features = |
| | 25 | Three French laboratories with international reputation have joined their effort |
| | 26 | to propose a unified approach to the self-adaptability in MP2SoC issue. Considering a standard |
| | 27 | 2D mesh hardware architecture with a Network on Chip interconnecting clusters containing |
| | 28 | processing elements and local memories, the proposal can be summarized as a three steps |
| | 29 | process : non-intrusive online monitoring, online diagnosis/test, and online remapping. |
| | 30 | The main contribution of the ADAM project is to make these three steps finely interact |
| | 31 | through the use of onchip dynamic event databases: local databases of formatted/historized |
| | 32 | events and a global database of architecture instant maps, or architecture audited views |
| | 33 | classified by event types. |
| 43 | | * All simulation models and most associated tools are distributed as free software. |
| 44 | | * The !SoClib documentation can be accessed [https://www.soclib.fr/trac/dev/wiki/Start here] |
| 45 | | * To actually download one or several !SoClib tools or component, you must register below. |
| 46 | | * For each SoCLib component, a synthesizable RTL model is available, in order to guarantee a path to silicon, but this RTL model is NOT part of the SoCLib library, in order to preserve the IP providers business. |
| | 42 | Its corporate goal is to bring technological innovation to the European industry, and to create |
| | 43 | added value through an active Intellectual Property policy based on the management of strong patent |
| | 44 | portfolio (> 500 active patents, and more than 140 filings/year) and the licensing of its technologies. |
| | 45 | For more than ten years, LETI has been working on wireless systems for several applications fields: |
| | 46 | medical (indoor), military (outdoor), robotics, mobiles phones and communications with mobiles |
| | 47 | (cars, trains, underground, etc.). LETI is currently involved in several R&D telecom project |
| | 48 | of the 6th Framework. |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | The DCIS Department (DCIS: "Conception et Intégration des Systèmes") at LETI is in charge of |
| | 51 | the IC design activities, and is currently addressing the following topics: |
| | 52 | - digital and mixed chip design for telecom, smart cards, RFID, image processing, smart devices, etc. |
| | 53 | - architecture exploration (HW/SW partitioning, performance evaluation, etc.) |
| | 54 | - design flow methodology (SystemC/TLM methodology, XML/Spirit, Matlab/Simulink co simulation, etc). |
| | 55 | |
| | 56 | An important concern at LETI is the design of mixed signal, multi-physics systems with |
| | 57 | sensors/activators (MEMS, MOEMS, etc.), RF front-end and complex SOC design and architecture. |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | LETI is now reference as a world wide key actor in the field of network on chip (NOC) architecture: |
| | 60 | refer to LETI papers at the ISSCC'07 conference. An innovative Software Defined Radio platform based |
| | 61 | on fully distributed communication and control system has been designed. This architecture framework |
| | 62 | is targeting complex data flow applications. The backbone of the architecture is a layered asynchronous |
| | 63 | NOC that brings scalability at architecture level and flexibility at the application level. |
| | 64 | Silicon proves these concepts, and is currently used for complex Radio Access technology experimentation. |
