This paper considers several different algorithms that reduce the required number of buses for multi-chip module design. An efficient polynomial time algorithm that calculates the minimum number of buses needed given a particular schedule is presented. We also present three algorithms that minimize the number of buses during scheduling. Experimental results are shown that illustrate the efficiency of the algorithms.
