Abstract

Software related issues such as code/data mapping, highlevel communication management and power control are becoming increasingly important as we move towards NoC(network-on-chip) based CMPs (chip multiprocessors). This paper presents an ILP (integer linear programming) based formulation of the problem of communication energy minimization in such architectures. This formulation can be used for selecting the optimal set of links to use as well as the optimal voltage and frequency selection of these links. This formulation is linked to a compiler pass which automatically extracts interprocessor communication pattern from an application code and feeds it to the ILP solver.
