NoCem - Synthesizable VHDL Network on Chip Emulator

A Network on Chip Emulation Tool, NoCem is a body of VHDL code configurable by a toplevel package file that can create a variety of Network on Chips on parameters of datawidth, virtual channel implementations, topology, and in-network buffering lengths. Once parameterized, the resulting NoC is generated automatically with heavy use of VHDL generics and generate statements.
