Application Mapping Onto Mesh-of-Tree Based Network-on-Chip Using Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper addresses the problem of application mapping for Mesh-of-Tree (MoT) based Network-on-Chip. It proposes a new mapping technique based on discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to map the cores of the core graph to the routers. The results have been compared with techniques reported in the literature for a number of benchmark applications. The reported strategy produces results superior to those obtained via existing approaches within a reasonable CPU time.
