, typically focusing on single-core systems. However,modern microprocessors incorporate a growing number of cores into a single chip or system 1 .Educational simulation tools for chip multiprocessors are less available, leaving a significant gapin the hands-on experience one can gain in the classroom without learning complicated andcumbersome research-level simulators. This gap leaves students at a disadvantage in the computerarchitecture job market as well as in graduate research.We propose ENoCS, an interactive Educational Network-on-Chip Simulator. ENoCS provides theuser with an interactive medium which contains detailed behavior of the multicorecommunication substrate. With ENoCS, users can simulate how packets travel through a varietyof on-chip

It is our experience that the level of coordination is atthe vice-premier level and action on a proposal is slow. This slowschange even though the faculties of the universities desire a rapidimprovement in their programs. In December, 1977, the Ministry of Education developed a plan for·education in the applied sciences and new technologies in the univer- sities.

Each team will begin its presentation with anoutline of its theoretical intent and conclude with models and drawings of its architecturalinterpretation. The panel of experts will question and critique each team’s effort.SummaryIf successful, the course will provide innumerable educational benefits to our students.First and foremost, they will (we hope) learn how to design a building. Second, they will learnhow to research a project and present their findings orally and in written form. Third, they willlearn how to collaborate with other professionals. Fourth, they will learn how to constructtheoretical models. Finally, they will find that even as students they can make real contributionsto their
