An Empirical Power Model of the Links and the Deflective Routing Switch in Nostrum
نویسندگان
چکیده
An empirical power model of the switch-to-switch links and the hot potato switch in Nostrum has been developed based on an analytical analysis and experiments with Synopsys Power Compiler. The model takes into account all possible variations of bit patterns of packets travelling through the network. It has been validated against Power Compiler simulations and is accurate within a few percent. The power model has been integrated into the NNSE simulation environment and can be used to report on power and energy consumption extending Nostrum simulations.

Low-power and error protection coding for network-on-chip traffic
The power consumption of the network-on-chip communication backbone is explored and the effectiveness of low-power encoding and error protection techniques is analysed. For the switch under the study, a Nostrum deflective routing switch, simulations and power analysis suggest that only a minor fraction of the power is dissipated in the logic blocks, whereas the major part is due to the intercon...
متن کاملA Routing-Aware Simulated Annealing-based Placement Method in Wireless Network on Chips
Wireless network on chip (WiNoC) is one of the promising on-chip interconnection networks for on-chip system architectures. In addition to wired links, these architectures also use wireless links. Using these wireless links makes packets reach destination nodes faster and with less power consumption. These wireless links are provided by wireless interfaces in wireless routers. The WiNoC archite...
