摘要：Networks-on-Chip is getting established as a communication infrastructure for future advance and complex SoC plateforms, composed of a large number of homogenous or heterogeneous processing resources. Application specific SoC design presents the prospects for incorporating custom NoC architectures that are more suitable for a specific application, and may not be suitable for regular topologies. The precise but often different communication requirements among IP-cores of the SoC call for the design of application-specific topology of SoC for better performance with respect to communication energy, latency, and throughput. In the presented work, a methodology for the design of customized irregular topology for SoC with complex communication behavior is proposed. The proposed methodology uses the aforementioned knowledge of the application’s communication attribute to produce an power optimized network and corresponding routing tables.
