1. A method, comprising: generating a Network on Chip (NoC) comprising a plurality of channels and a plurality of routers, the NoC configured with one or more pipeline stages that are positioned at one or more of the plurality of channels in the NoC based on a NoC topology within an associated System on Chip (SoC) floorplan, length of channels from the NoC topology and wire delay normalized to clock frequency; configuring a physical SoC with the generated NoC; wherein a number of the one or more pipeline stages to be positioned is based on a ratio of a length of channels from the NoC topology and a wire delay normalized to a clock frequency.
