Speculative supplier identification for reducing power of interconnects in snoopy cache coherence protocols
In this work we reduce interconnect power dissipation in Symmetric Multiprocessors or SMPs. We revisit snoopy cache coherence protocols and reduce unnecessary interconnect activit...

A Power-Aware Prediction-Based Cache Coherence Protocol for Chip Multiprocessors
Snoopy cache coherence protocols broadcast requests to all nodes, reducing the latency of cache to cache transfer misses at the expense of increasing interconnect power. We propos...

Binding, Allocation and Floorplanning in Low Power High-Level Synthesis
This work is a contribution to high level synthesis for low power systems. While device feature size decreases, interconnect power becomes a dominating factor. Thus it is importan...
