A novel BMNoC configuration algorithm utilizing communication volume and locality among cores

Network-on-chip (NoC) architectures are emerged as a promising solution to the lack of scalability in multiprocessor systems-on-chips (MPSoCs). In this paper, we propose a novel BMNoC configuration algorithm together with simulation results. Our BMNoC configuration algorithm analyses the data traffic of the target application and determines which core is the right one to put into the certain cluster with its communication volume and locality. Furthermore, the simulation results illustrate the better latency than earlier studies and feasibility of BMNoC.
