Reliable NoC Mapping Based on Scatter Search

摘要

Network-on-Chip (NoC) is a promising interconnection solution for systems on chip. Mapping Intellectual Property (IP) cores onto NoC architecture is an important phase of NoC design. It affects heavily the NoC performance. In this paper, we propose a multi-objectives optimization algorithm based on Scatter Search for NoC mapping. We introduce reliability evaluation into NoC mapping in order to achieve high performance and reliable NoC architectures. Experimental results show that our algorithm achieves low power consumption, little communication time, balanced link load and high reliability, compared to other traditional evolutional algorithms.
