: In ultra-deep submicron VLSI circuits, clock network is a major source of power consumption and power supply noise. Therefore, it is very important to minimize clock network size...
This paper explores the power implications of replacing global chip wires with an on-chip network. We optimize network links by varying repeater spacing, link pipelining, and volt...
Flow control mechanisms in Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures are critical for fast packet propagation across the network and for low idling of network resources. Buffer manageme...
