Network Partitioning & IP Placement in Network-on-Chip (NoC)

Among the hardest problem in Networks-on-Chip (NoC) design is to customize the topological structure of the on-chip network in order to fulfill application demand on minimal possible cost. The area cost of NoC is cut down by using Network Partitioning methods where it splits the large network into smaller division. The enhancement in area cost is reached by trimming both router area and the number of global links. From the performance context, Multi-Level Network Partitioning offers a better so ...
