Abstract :
In recent years, the power efficiency of NoC (network on chip) is becoming a new research direction. For tiled CMP (single-chip multi processor), the characteristics of transmission data of NoC in a tiled CMP should be noticed that the probability of which the transmitted bits are zero is much bigger than that of which the bits are one. This paper proposes an innovative power-efficient architecture of input buffer of NoC, which makes use of the mentioned characteristics, can improve the power efficiency of the NoC of tiled CMP significantly.
