Network on chip (NoC) is evolving as a promising paradigm for high density SoC (System on Chip) designs. It is introduced as a remedy for the challenges introduced by the current interconnects in VLSI chips. NoC design involves decisions at various levels of hierarchy. Architecture selection is one of the most important aspects of NoC design in general and application specific NoC in particular. The paper aims in presenting algorithm for generating optimal topologies with homogeneous routers from a given communication task graph.
