Abstract :
Power-optimal traffic routing in bus-networks is studied from an information theoretic perspective. Power consumption in bus-networks is mathematically related to traffic patterns leading to theoretically optimal routing strategies and ultimate performance limits. Networks-on-chip depending strongly on efficient communication schemes motivate this work.
