Power consumption of system-level on-chip communications is becoming more significant in the overall system-on-chip (SoC) power as technology scales down. In this paper, we propos...

Due to larger buses (length, width) and deep sub-micron effects where coupling capacitances between bus lines are in the same order of magnitude as base capacitances, power consum...
The working-zone encoding (WZE) method employing locality of memory reference was previously proposed to reduce address bus switching activity. This paper presents an encoding met...
This paper presents an architectural study of a scalable system-level interconnection template. We explain why the shared bus, which is today's dominant template, will not me...
