  4. Abstract:
  5. Traffic models exert different message flows in a network and have a considerable effect on power consumption through different applications. So a good power analysis should consider traffic models. In this paper we present power and throughput models in terms of traffic rate parameters for the most popular traffic models, i.e. Uniform, Local, HotSpot and First Matrix Transpose (FMT) as a permutational traffic model. We also select Mesh topology as the most prominent NoC topology and validate the presented models by comparing our results against simulation results from Synopsys Power Compiler and Modelsim From the comparison, we show that our modeling approach leads to average error of 2% for power and 2.8% for throughput modeling. © 2008 IEEE
