    3737The COACH project will benefit from a number of previous projects:
    38 \begin{itemize}
    39 \item SOCLIB :
    40 The SoCLib ANR platform (2007-2009) is an open infrastructure developped by 10 academic laboratories
    41 and 6 industrial companies.
    42 It supports system level virtual prototyping of shared memory, multi-processors
    43 architectures, and provides tools to map multi-tasks software application on these
    44 architectures, for reliable performance evaluation.
    45 The core  of this platform is a library of SystemC simulation models for
    46 general purpose IP cores such as processors, buses, networks, memories, IO controller.
    47 The platform provides also embedded operating systems and software/hardware
    48 communication middleware.
    49 The synthesisable VHDL models of IPs are not part of the SoCLib platform, and
    50 this project enhances SoCLib by providing the synthesisable VHDL models required
    51 for FPGA synthesis.
    52 \item ROMA :
    53 The ROMA ANR project (2007-2009) involving IRISA, LIRMM, CEA List THOMSON France R\&D, proposes to develop a
    54 reconfigurable processor, exhibiting high silicon density and power efficiency, able to adapt its
    55 computing structure to computation patterns that can be speed-up and/or power efficient.
    56 The ROMA project study a pipeline-based of evolved low-power coarse grain reconfigurable
    57 operators to avoid traditional overhead, in reconfigurable devices, related to
    58 the interconnection network.
    59 The project will  borrow from the ROMA ANR xxproject (2007-2009) and the ongoing
    60 joint INRIA-STMicro Nano2012 project to adapt existing pattern
    61 extraction algorithms and datapath merging techniques to the synthesis of customized
    62 ASIP processors.
    63 \item TSAR :
    64 The TSAR MEDEA+ project (2008-2010) involving BULL, THALES and the LIP6 targets the design of a
    65 scalable, coherent shared memory, multi-cores processor architecture, and uses the SoCLib
    66 plaform for virtual prototyping. The COACH project will benefit from the synthesizable VHDL
    67 models developped in the framework of TSAR (MIPS32 processor core, and RING interconnect).
    68 \item BioWic
    69 On the HPC application side, we also hope to benefit from the experience in
    70 hardware acceleration of bioinformatic algorithms/workfows gathered by the
    71 CAIRN group in the context of the ANR BioWic project (2009-2011), so as to
    72 be able to validate the framework on real-life HPC applications.

    7776The laboratories involved in the COACH project have a well estabished expertise
    7877in the following domains:
    7978\begin{itemize}
    80 \item
    81 In the field of High Level Synthesis (HLS), the project
    82 leverages on know-how acquired over the last 15 years with the GAUT~\cite{gaut08} project
    83 developped by the Lab-STIC laboratory, and with the UGH~\cite{ugh08} project developped
    84 by the LIP6 and TIMA laboratories.

     83    by the \upmc and \tima laboratories.
     84  \item
     85    Regarding system level architecture, the project is based on the know-how
     86    acquired by the \upmc and \tima laboratories in the framework of various projects 
     87    (COSY~\cite{disydent}, or MEDEA-MESA~\cite{dspin}), in the field of communication
     88    architectures for shared memory multi-processors systems.
     89    As an example, the DSPIN network on chip, is now used by BULL in the TSAR project.
     90  \item
     91    Regarding Application Specific Instruction Processor (ASIP) design, the
     92    CAIRN group at INRIA Bretagne Atlantique benefits from several years of
     93    expertise in the domain of retargetable compiler
     94    (Armor/Calife~\cite{CODES99} since 1996, and the Gecos
     95    compilers~\cite{ASAP05} since 2002).

    98 In the field of compilers, the Compsys group was founded in 2002
    99 by several senior researchers with experience in
    100 high performance computing and automatic parallelization. They have been
    101 among the initiators of the polyhedral model, a theory which serve to
    102 unify many parallelism detection and exploitation techniques for regular
    103 programs. It is expected that the techniques developped by Compsys for
    104 parallelism detection, scheduling, process construction and memory management
    105 will be very useful as a Rfront end for the a high-level synthesis tools.
