片上网络IP核的映射及优化方法研究

IP核映射是片上网络(NoC)设计过程中的关键环节，其结果对芯片的成本、性能、功耗等关键技术指标均有重大影响。片上网络IP映射问题的核心问题是映射算法的研究与优化。本项目拟结合特定的芯片设计，对NoC的拓扑结构进行研究及数学建模，对映射算法、映射约束条件以及衡量映射结果好坏的目标函数进行数学描述，解决如何针对特定的芯片设计需求，确定NoC架构以及得到其最优化映射算法的问题，建立对映射结果的评价与分析的系统，并在此基础上进行相关的NoC研发设计工作。

IP core mapping is the key step of the Network-on-chip (NoC) design, which can greatly impact the cost, performance and power consumption of IC. The core of the NoC IP core mapping problem is to establish and optimize the mapping algorithm. In this proposal, based on the IC needed to be designed, the topology and related mathematical models of the NoC are going to be investigated, the mathematical expressions of the mapping algorithms, the restrictive conditions and the object functions to judge the mapping result are going to be established. Based on these works, the method for finding the optimized mapping algorithm of a certain NoC can be found, the judging and analyzing system of the mapping effects can be obtained, the related NoC will also be researched and developed.
