Abstract

Systems and methods for automatically building a deadlock free inter-communication network in a multi-core system are described. The example embodiments described herein involve deadlock detection during the mapping of user specified communication pattern amongst blocks of the system. Detected deadlocks are then avoided by re-allocation of channel resources. An example embodiment of the deadlock avoidance scheme is presented on Network-on-chip interconnects for large scale multi-core system-on-chips.
