The voltage-frequency island (VFI) design paradigm has strong potential for reducing energy consumption in network-on-chip (NoC). The V/F of each island can be dynamically tuned according to the application¡¯s requirements. However, dynamic VFI (DVFI) requires an efficient on-chip communication architecture to compensate for the latency overhead produced while tuning the proper V/F of each VFI. Although standard topology has been used in most VFI designs, this approach incurs a large energy and latency overhead owing to the redundant hop counts. Therefore, we propose a custom topology-based DVFI for an energy-efficient manycore platform to maximize energy efficiency with a reasonable implementation cost. In this regard, a custom topology generation method with a heuristic run-time V/F tuning algorithm is incorporated by considering the core and link utilization. Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in terms of execution time and energy-delay product.
