Abstract: NetworkonChip mapping and the design of the communication parameters are the critical processes of the NoC design. They significantly influence the performance, area and energy of NoCs. We take the NoC mapping problem and the design of the communication parameters both into account. First, we formalize the problem of NoC mapping. Then we propose an analytical delay model based on wormhole switching. We map the application model to the NoC topology under the constraints of communication delay,and obtain the communication parameters automatically. Experiments show that our analytical delay model is 7%~13% more accurate than the previous work and the result of the NoC mapping and the design of the communication parameters are better than ever before.

Key words: NoC, wormhole switching, communication parameters
