Networks-on-chip (NoC) is a promising on-chip communication paradigm that improves scalability and performance of System-on-Chips. NoC design flow contains many problems from different areas, such as networking, embedded design and computer architecture. Application mapping is one of these problems, which is generally considered in the form of a communication energy minimization problem. Self similarity is a traffic model that is used to characterize Ethernet and/or wide area network traffic, as well as on-chip network traffic. The present paper tackles the application mapping problem from a networking point of view using self similar traffic assumption and aims to find a mapping solution that improves network performance in terms of buffer utilization while simultaneously minimizing the total communication energy consumption. In this study, by using a self similar on-chip traffic characterization, an application mapping problem definition, which contains both energy and buffer utilization concerns is proposed. In order to solve this intractable problem, a genetic algorithm based solution is derived and implemented. Execution of the algorithm on different test cases has proven that such a mapping formulation avoids high buffer over utilizations while keeping the communication energy requirement still low.

Energy and buffer aware application mapping for networks on chip Çelik, Coşkun; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013) Network-on-Chip (NoC) is a developing and promising on-chip communication paradigm that improves scalability and performance of System-on-Chips. NoC design flow contains many problems from different areas, for example networking, embedded design and computer architecture. Application mapping is one of these problems, which is generally considered as a communication energy minimization problem. This dissertation approaches to this problem from a networking point of view and tries to find a mapping solution w...
Evaluation of energy and buffer aware application mapping for networks-on-chip Celik, Cokun; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi (Elsevier BV, 2014-06-01) Networks-on-Chip (NoC) is a communication paradigm for Systems-on-Chip (SoC). NoC design flow contains many problems, one of which is called as application mapping problem, which is generally solved in the literature by considering minimization of the communication energy consumption only. Energy and Buffer Aware Application Mapping (EBAM) is a recently proposed method, which handles the application mapping issue as a joint optimization problem for minimizing the energy consumption and buffer utilization si...
Path planning for mobile-anchor based wireless sensor network localization: Static and dynamic schemes Erdemir, Ecenaz; Tuncer, Temel Engin (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-01) In wireless sensor networks, node locations are required for many applications. Usually, anchors with known positions are employed for localization. Sensor positions can be estimated more efficiently by using mobile anchors (MAs). Finding the best MA trajectory is an important problem in this context. Various path planning algorithms are proposed to localize as many sensors as possible by following the shortest path with minimum number of anchors. In this paper, path planning algorithms for MA assisted loca...
Comparative evaluation of command distribution via DDS and CORBA in a software reference architecture Duran, Mustafa Berk; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) Communication between modules in distributed system architectures plays a crucial role in proper system operation. Therefore, selection of the method for the communication of software running on di erent platforms becomes important. Two of the alternatives for data distribution are the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) and Data-Distribution Service (DDS). In this study, e ects of the selection on the Overall software quality and performance are investigated for real-time embedded systems dev...
Energy efficient wireless unicast routing alternatives for machine-to-machine networks Tekbiyik, Neyre; Uysal, Elif (Elsevier BV, 2011-09-01) Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications is a new and rapidly developing technology for large-scale networking of devices without dependence on human interaction. Energy efficiency is one of the important design objectives for machine-to-machine network architectures that often contain multihop wireless subnetworks. Constructing energy-efficient routes for sending data through such networks is important not only for the longevity of the nodes which typically depend on battery energy, but also for achieving a...
