Mapping Irregular MPSoC Topologies onto 2D-meshes

In application-specific SoCs the topology is usually irregular. In this paper we present a mapping tool able to map the initial irregular topology of a SoC system into a logical regular structure (2D-mesh) where a Logic-Based Distributed Routing mechanism (LBDRx) can be applied. The goal is to implement the routing paths without using memory resources. The original topology is not changed. Evaluation results show the effectiveness of the mapping tool.
