Unimap: Unified Framework for Network-on-chip Application Mapping Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
Network-on-Chip architectures have been recently proposed to address the limitations of bus-based interconnection networks. They focus on modularity, scalability and intrinsic support for heterogeneous Systems-onChip. Network-on-Chip application mapping is an NP-hard problem that deals with the topological mapping of Intellectual Property cores onto network tiles. This paper outlines the main contributions of an ongoing PhD research, which addresses this problem. At the Advanced Computer Architecture & Processing Systems (ACAPS) research lab, we developed UniMap, a framework that evaluates and optimizes algorithms for Network-on-Chip application mapping, through a unified approach. Using this tool, multiple application mapping algorithms can be tested on the same network architecture. The framework is also intended to be flexible so that different interconnection designs can be used when comparing the performance of different algorithms. We present here UniMap’s design and we show how it contributes to the Network-on-Chip application mapping research.

متن کاملA Unified Approach to Mapping and Routing on a Network-on-Chip for Both Best-Effort and Guaranteed Service Traffic
One of the key steps in Network-on-Chip-based design is spatial mapping of cores and routing of the communication between those cores. Known solutions to the mapping and routing problems first map cores onto a topology and then route communication, using separate and possibly conflicting objective functions. In this paper, we present a unified single-objective algorithm, called Unified MApping,...

Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system.

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for mappings with respect to a $wt$-distance in $b$-metric spaces endowed with a graph. Our results are significant, since we replace the condition of continuity of mapping with the condition of orbitally $G$-continuity of mapping and we consider $b$-metric spaces with graph instead of $b$-metric spaces, under which can be gen...
