Design and Implementation of Encoding Schemes for Minimiging Switching and Coupling Transitions for Link Dissipation

Abstract

As the technologies shrink, the power dissipated by the communication subsystem, namely, the routers, NIs, and links increases. This paper discusses a set of data encoding and consumption in links of the NoC. Their application does not require any modification of the routers and link architectures. This proposed system is transparent and general with respect to the NoC fabric. Finally the area and power efficient encoder and decoder are designed.
