Abstract :
A new algorithm for application-specific network-on-chip design and optimization is presented. The algorithm uses packet-scheduling and traffic modelling concepts to estimate the degree of interaction of several communication channels (congestion) on a given design. It is implemented as part of a network design software package that includes other optimization criteria, like power consumption and reliability.
