INFN Roma group in the SHAPES project

The INFN Roma group's contribution to the SHAPES project consist of a TLM-SystemC and a VHDL model of the DNP.

DNP stands for Distributed Network Processor. The main task of the DNP is to provide inter-tile communication services. A secondary service is to act as a DMA controller for intra-tile communications. The DNP offers its services to other masters in the tile, typically a RISC or a DSP processor.
