New Method of Mapping Irregular IP Cores to 2-d NoC Architecture

A NoC based irregular IP mapping algorithm is showed in this paper.The basic idea is to decompose a large IP core into several dummy IPs or integrate several small IPs into one dummy IP,such that each dummy IP can fit into one single tile.The size of buffer in every communication node can be decided by computing the Manhattan distance and I/O degree.The initial mapping result can be adjusted according to the communication cost,and thus can avoid communication congestion and reduce the power consumption.
