In modern processors, data-movement consumes two orders of magnitude higher energy
than a floating-point operation and hence, data-movement is becoming the primary …

Over the past decade, system-on-chip (SoC) designs have evolved to address the ever
increasing complexity of applications, fueled by the era of digital convergence …

Researchers highlight end-user involvement in system design as an important concept for
developing useful and usable solutions. However, end-user involvement in software …

The coupling capacitances between on-chip bus lines become dominant in deep-submicron
technologies. Coding to reduce the switching activity of the individual lines was enough to …

As technology shrinks, the power dissipated by the links of a network-on-chip (NoC) starts to
compete with the power dissipated by the other elements of the communication subsystem …

In deep-submicron technology, minimising the propagation delay and power consumption
on buses is the most important design objective in system-on-chip design. In particular, the …

Low power VLSI circuit design is one of the most important issues in present day technology.
One of the ways of reducing power in a CMOS circuit is to reduce the number of transitions …

Considerable research has been done in the area of bus-encoding techniques, for either
power minimization or cross-talk elimination in system-level buses, but not both together. We …

This paper presents a low-power encoding framework for embedded processor instruction
buses. The encoder is capable of adjusting its encoding not only to suit applications but …

In on-chip buses, the RC crosstalk effect leads to serious problems, such as wire
propagation delay and dynamic power dissipation. This paper presents two efficient bus …
