Low power adaptive data protection for network on chip

This paper presents an adaptive low-power data protection scheme for network on chip (NoC). The scheme decides the hop of data protection dynamically based on the detecting of different error number. It makes NoC power the most efficient by satisfying reliability constraint. The experiment result shows the performance of adaptive data protection is better than that of the switch-to-switch and end-to-end data protection for the same reliability constraint, especially when NoC communication architecture requires the high reliability, the scheme behaves more efficient.
