  7. Abstract:
  8. Reducing interconnection costs on chip and power consumption are important issues in designing processors. In a processor, a significant amount of total chip power is consumed in the interconnection. The goal of this research is to find a way to reduce power consumption in the interconnection. In this project we propose a new data sending method in which an LZW-like compression algorithm is exploited to compress data before sending it over the interconnection. Then, the codes of the compressed data are sent through the interconnection in order to reduce the number of dynamic cycles. The simulation results show that using this method can reduce 52% of dynamic power consumption
