This paper presents a mapping strategy onto mesh based Network-on-Chip (NoC) architecture by using combined techniques such as Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and constructive heuristic. To arrive at a better solution, the basic PSO has been augmented further. That is, it runs the PSOs multiple times. The mapping result has been compared, in terms of communication cost, with an exact method such as Integer Linear Programming (ILP) and other methods. Experiment results show improvement with other approaches.
