Abstract
The present disclosure relates system and method for automatic assignment of power domain and voltage domain to one or more SoC and/or NoC elements based on one or a combination of NoC and/or SoC specification/design, traffic specification, connectivity between SoC hosts that the NoC element in context is a part of, power specification (power domain and voltage domain of each host) of the hosts/SoC, and power profile(s) applicable for the NoC element in context. In another example implementation, power domain and voltage domain can be assigned to each SoC and/or NoC element based on pre-defined constraints and with an objective of reducing/minimizing static power consumption, reducing/minimizing hardware area, or identifying a tradeoff between the two parameters.
