Abstract

This model-based methodology and supporting toolset lets designers estimate application-specific network-on-chip (NoC) power dissipation at early stages of the design flow. An actor-oriented simulation framework captures the NoC's dynamic behavior and feeds its parameters to a rate-based power estimation model. Integrating this model into the proposed design flow enables the analysis of different design parameters and the identification of the most power-efficient application platform mappings.
