On the Energy-Aware Mapping for NoCs

摘要

To overcome the complex communication problems that arise as the number of on-chip components increases, NoCs have been proposed to replace global interconnects. The energy-aware mapping problem for NoCs is to decide how to assign the tasks of the application onto the PEs of the network such that the total communi­cation energy is minimized. This paper shows optimal energy-aware mappings onto the mesh-based NoCs for some practical applications.
