As the power consumption becomes a hot topic in the field of NOC, many researchers are studying the design technology that minimizes the power consumption of NOC. Some articles realize the NoC mapping by ant colony optimization algorithm. However, by these methods, the system consumes much more CPU time when the scale of the problem or the amount of ants increases. In this article, by GPU acceleration, the scale of the problem to be solved can be increased linearly with the increasing of ants.

Abstract
As the power consumption becomes a hot topic in the field of NOC, many researchers are studying the design technology that minimizes the power consumption of NOC. Some articles realize the NoC mapping by ant colony optimization algorithm. However, by these methods, the system consumes much more CPU time when the scale of the problem or the amount of ants increases. In this article, by GPU acceleration, the scale of the problem to be solved can be increased linearly with the increasing of ants.
