Application based topology adaptation in NoC architecture with reduced power dissipation

Abstract

The proposed reconfigurable architecture for Networks-on-chip (NoC) changes the network topology by dynamically changing the router connections. This ReNoC can adapt more than one application on a single chip for desired application known at runtime. The router connections are changed by using the configuration switches. This scenario gives the reconfigured NoC architecture and is achieved by data transmission between the source and destination of the NoC architecture. In this proposed reconfigurable NoC architecture, the energy consumption induced by the links is more than that of the router. So, data encoding and decoding t techniques are used to reduce the energy consumption of data transmission and hence the power dissipation in the NoC architecture.
