Application mapping of disseminated intellectual property into Network on Chip (NoC) is a well-defined NP-Hard problem. Improvement of network performance in NoC is purely based on an effective mapping approach with cost and performance metrics optimization which includes area, power, delay, reliability, and thermal distribution. A self-adaptive mapping approach for NoC is proposed in this paper. In this method, the self-adaptive chicken swarm optimization algorithm (SCSO) is used for an effective mapping, which has never been applied with NoC. The proposed method reduces the power consumption of NoC through a cognitive base using shared K-nearest neighbor clustering method and it offers faster mapping over standard and randomly generated benchmarks. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method outperforms existing bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithms, especially for large application graph.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
