Abstract
This paper presents a discrete particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based strategy to map applications on both 2-D and 3-D mesh-connected Networks-on-Chip. The basic PSO formulation has been augmented by: 1) running multiple PSOs and 2) deterministically generating a part of the initial population for PSO. The mapping results, in terms of the overall communication metric, have been compared with well-known techniques reported in the literature and also with exact methods built around integer linear programming (ILP). Our PSO-based results are superior to those from reported techniques. For smaller benchmarks, the results obtained are same as those corresponding to the ILP formulation, establishing the quality of the solution strategy.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems is published as a monthly journal under the co-sponsorship of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the IEEE Computer Society, and the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society.
Design and realization of microelectronic systems using VLSI/ULSI technologies require close collaboration among scientists and engineers in the fields of systems architecture, logic and circuit design, chips and wafer fabrication, packaging, testing and systems applications. Generation of specifications, design and verification must be performed at all abstraction levels, including the system, register-transfer, logic, circuit, transistor and process levels.
To address this critical area through a common forum, the IEEE Transactions on VLSI Systems have been founded. The editorial board, consisting of international experts, invites original papers which emphasize and merit the novel systems integration aspects of microelectronic systems including interactions among systems design and partitioning, logic and memory design, digital and analog circuit design, layout synthesis, CAD tools, chips and wafer fabrication, testing and packaging, and systems level qualification. Thus, the coverage of these Transactions will focus on VLSI/ULSI microelectronic systems integration.
