Characterization of Equalized and Repeated Interconnects for NoC Applications
Byungsub Kim, Vladimir Marko Stojanovic · IEEE Design & Test of Computers · 2008
As the number of cores increases and onand off-chip bandwidth demand rises, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to rely on conventional interconnects and remain within the chip power budget. This article explores leveraging equalization for global and semi-global long interconnects to overcome this problem.
