Abstract
On-chip wiring lengths, delays-per-bit and energy-per-bit no longer decrease with technology nodes <24 nm. Chip-to-chip communication speeds advanced beyond predictions to >30 GB/s/pin in 2014, however, at the price of energy stalled at 1 pJ/b. The expansion in data volume is so fantastic that bandwidth and power present unanswered challenges. Since video takes up >70 % of the Internet traffic, it receives a special treatment in Chaps. 12–14.
