A Buffer-Sizing Algorithm for Network-on-Chips with Multiple Voltage-Frequency Islands

Buffers in on-chip networks constitute a significant proportion of the power consumption and area of the interconnect, and hence reducing them is an important problem. Application-specific designs have nonuniform network utilization, thereby requiring a buffer-sizing approach that tackles the nonuni...
