Popis: | Network-on-Chip (NoC) is an on-chip communication solution in the future system-on-a-chip (SoC) necessitating high performance operation with low power dissipation. We present a novel dynamic power management technique for low power NoC router buffers using nano CMOS SRAMS. A feedback controller was designed for block level power management and a power aware adaptive controller was designed for low power flit storage encoding to reduce energy consumptions in the router buffers. Experiments with the proposed scheme showed up to 20% reduction in energy consumption while improving throughput by up to 21%. |
