Abstract
Enormous advancements in System-on-Chip (SoC) have led to a new area called as MPSoC, having single chip with many processors. MPSoC is usually targeted for high-end embedded designs to meet real-time requirements, where performance and bandwidth plays a major role. Multi Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) deals with multiple on-chip processors and processing elements that are essential for multi-core processors integrated onto the single chip. As more and more processors are integrated onto the same silicon chip, there should be proper communication and synchronization to ensure better performance. For this purpose, several Communication Architectures (CAs) have been developed like ARM AMBA, IBM Core Connect, Altera Avalon, and Open Cores Wishbone. One of the major challenges is to select a suitable architecture among the various MPSoC architectures. AMBA bus is widely used in the high-performance and high frequency SoC designs. This paper deals with several topologies and communication protocols. In this paper AMBA versions and their buses/interfaces are discussed.
