摘　　要：In this paper, we propose an intelligent partitioning approach of the system-on-chip(So C) to improve the bendability and stretchability of flexible and stretchable systems. The proposed approach partitions the So C intelligently into clusters of functional modules according to the communication flows and area constraint. Based on the communication volume between clusters, a heuristic algorithm is applied to map these clusters onto the 2 D mesh network-on-chip(No C) for co-optimization of communication energy and delay. Experimental results show that our approach can effectively partition the So C into small ICs of the same size. The approach also reduces power consumption and communication delay by 10.64%–56.63%and 15.06%–50.30%, respectively.In this paper, we propose an intelligent partitioning approach of the system-on-chip(So C) to improve the bendability and stretchability of flexible and stretchable systems.
