Online multi-application mapping in photonic Network-on-Chip with mesh topology

The silicon photonic interconnection is one of the promising solutions with high bandwidth and low power consumption for overcoming electrical Network-on-Chip challenges. This communication infrastructure provides, to integrate hundreds processing cores on a chip, then this structure is suitable for running multi-application simultaneously. In this paper, a chain of algorithms have been proposed for online multi-application mapping in Photonic Network-on-Chip (PNoC). This chain contains Boundary allocation, Boundary migration and inter sub-mesh Loss Aware (LA) mapping for improving performance constrained parameter. Experimental results indicate a considerable improvement of combining the Boundary allocation and migration scheme, about 33.8% improvement in average execution time and 37.6% in energy deception.
