SMA: A constructive partitioning based mapping approach for Networks-on-Chip

This paper proposes a constructive partitioning approach as an effective mapping approach for 2D Networks -on-Chip. Cluster-based mapping approach offers a promising improvement on the fastest initial mapping against the standard Networks-on-Chip (NoC) architecture. In this paper, the spectral partitioning algorithm is adopted for the fastest mapping with NoC, named SMA. The proposed spectral partitioning-based mapping approach (SMA) explores the efficacious NoC mapping concerning communication bandwidth, average hop counts, and total power consumption NoC architecture. The experimental analysis indicates that the proposed SMA outperforms existing partitioning approaches.
