Abstract: In this paper, the Multicast Routing (MR) algorithm problem for Networks-on-Chip (NOC) is studied and an efficient routing algorithm is proposed. Here each and every MR step is designed as a Minimum Directed Spanning Tree (MDST) Problem. The MDST capably finds the best routing solutions for multicast flows. Power consumption is one of the major evaluation parameter for routing inside Network-on-Chip (NOC). The power consumption mentioned here includes both leakage power and dynamic switching power. Simulation is performed over several randomized network layouts and the results are compared with conventional PIM-DM. In particular, the proposed algorithm achieves a 24% reduction in power consumption over conventional PIM-DM when the number of computational cores inside a chip is nearly hundred.
