In order to exploit the benefits introduced by the NoC approach for the on-chip communication, the paper presents a design flow for the core mapping and customization of the network topology applied to STNoC, the Network on-Chip developed by STMicroelectronics. Starting from ring topology, the proposed application-specific flow tries to find a set of customized topologies, optimized in terms of performance and area/energy overhead, by adding links. The generated STNoC custom topologies provide a reduced cost with respect to the spidergon topology.}, keywords = {application specific design, mapping, network-on-chip (NoC), STNoC, topology customization}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ASAP.2007.4429959}, author = {Palermo, Gianluca and Mariani, Giovanni and Silvano, Cristina and Locatelli, Riccardo and Coppola, Marcello} }
