Technical meeting at STMicroelectronics with UPV.

    UPV and STMicroelectronics have started collaborations within the COMCAS project. To start such collaboration, a two days meeting was held at the main offices of STMicroelectronics at Grenoble, on Sept. 14th-15th. Research will be focused on the analysis of routing mechanisms for on-chip networks, with the aim to reduce power consumption. Also, coherence protocols will be addressed within the collaboration.



Technical meeting at UPV with DS2

   On September 30th, a meeting was held in UPV with DS2 partner. The aim was to initiate collaboration efforts within COMCAS. The agreed collaboration will be focused on the modeling of complex communication subsystems, to be integrated in DS2 models. With the model, different routing mechanisms and communication techniques will be implemented and evaluated in the context of DS2 models.
