Routing circuit designs for implementation using a programmable network on chip

Abstract:

Routing a circuit design for implementation in an integrated circuit having a programmable network on chip can include determining Quality of Service (QOS) parameters for data flows of a circuit design, wherein the data flows involve transfers of data between masters and slaves through the programmable network on chip and generating, using a processor, an expression having a plurality of variables representing the data flows, routing constraints, and the QOS parameters. A routing solution can be determined using the processor for the data flows of the circuit design by initiating execution of a SAT solver using the expression.
