on-chip codes communicationZusammenfassung
Energy is a primary constraint in processor design, and much of that energy is consumed in on-chip communication.
Communication can be intra-core (e.g., from a register file to an ALU) or inter-core (e.g., over the on-chip network).
In this paper, we use the on-chip network (OCN) as a case study for saving on-chip communication energy.
We have identified a new way to reduce the OCN's link energy consumption by using line coding, a longstanding technique in information theory.
Our line codes, called Low-Energy Line Codes (LELCs), reduce energy by reducing the frequency of voltage transitions of the links, and they achieve a range of energy/performance trade-offs.
