Fast Energy Aware Application Specific Network-on-Chip Topology Generator

Network-on-Chip(NoC) has been proposed as a solution for addressing the design challenges of future high-performance nanoscale architecture. Application specific SoC design offers the opportunity for incorporating custom NoC architectures that are more suitable for a particular application, and do not necessarily conform to regular topologies. In this paper, fast deterministic methodologies are proposed for synthesis of energy aware communication architecture along with corresponding routing tables of an application specific NoC where the traffic communication traffic characteristics can be well characterized at design time.
