Abstract
Power dissipation continues to be a primary design constraint in single and multicore systems. Increasing power consumption not only results in increasing energy costs, but also results in high die temperatures that affect chip reliability, performance, and packaging cost. Energy conservation has been largely considered in the hardware design in general and also in embedded multicore systems’ components, such as CPUs, disks, displays, memories, and so on. Significant additional power savings can be also achieved by incorporating lowpower methods into the design of network protocols used for data communication (audio, video, etc.). This chapter investigates in details power reduction techniques at components and the network protocol levels.
