 # SCALP: Self-configurable 3-D Cellular multi-FPGA Adaptive Platform.
 
 Parallel computation has appeared as the most promising technique to circumvent the limitations imposed by power consumption in order to continue increasing computation power, making thus manycore architectures a promising computer organization approach. Interconnecting and coordinating such high amount of computation nodes in an efficient manner is a hot research topic, several approaches to Network-on-chip architectures propose solutions for this. SCALP is a 3D multi-FPGA hardware platform permitting to prototype 3D NoC architectures with dynamic topologies.
