基于多目标优化算法的NoC映射研究

Energy consumption is still a hot topic in Network on Chip (NoC). Traditional energy consumption optimization algorithm can handle mapping communication energy effectively by mapping IP cores together to minimize the energy consumption. Thermal balance is another most important optimization object, which is in conflict whit energy consumption optimization. As so, this paper proposed an improved multi-objective optimization algorithm with reboot diversity keeping strategy to map the IP cores onto the NoC using two conflicting objective optimization communication power consumption minimization and thermal balance. Analysis results show the approach is highly efficient and accurate on multi-objective NoC mapping.
