Abstract

A method and NoC design tool is disclosed that automatically maps the paths listed in a timing report and the unit size in an area report to the topology of a NoC and displays the paths and unit sizes in a GUI. The tool can also automatically add pipeline stages, separated by the maximum delay allowed in the timing budget, in order to achieve timing closure in an automated way.
