An Enhanced Low-Power Coding Technique for Network-on-Chip Links
摘要
The power used by the NoC resources increases as the number of processing elements rises. Due to the switching activities contained in the data bits being sent, NoC links are the main power dissipators in the NoC design, which significantly affects performance. In order to decrease the self-switching and coupling-switching activities of the data bits in the NoC links, an efficient coding scheme is required. In order to reduce link power consumption, our effort aims to create and implement an improved low-power coding scheme that is appropriate for both serial and parallel links. This coding method is synthesized for area, power, and critical path delay, and it is developed and implemented with Xilinx Vivado.
