An important question in DVFS is how to change the voltage and frequency adaptable to the required performance of the system at run-time while reducing the power consumption as much as possible. Another problem is how a tool could quickly and efficiently validate or reject a NoC architecture employing DVFS. By integrating the Orion 2 power model, VNOC 2.0 simulator can be used as either a NoC simulation tool or a platform for implementing and investigating DVFS ideas. In this paper, we focus on developing a new solution for NoC architectures to save energy using fuzzy-logic algorithms. A controller is designed to predict the change of traffic load based on the fuzzy logic algorithm, then adjusts the voltage and frequency correspondingly to minimize the power consumption while keeping the performance of the whole system. An estimation of power consumption has been done by using VNOC 2.0 simulator. The simulation results show that our model can save up to 46% the power consumption of a 8x8 NoC. date: 2017-05-23 date_type: published full_text_status: none pres_type: paper event_title: The 2017 IEEE International Conference on Integrated Circuit Design and Technology (IEEE ICICDT) event_location: Texas, USA event_dates: 23-25 May 2017 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE citation: Phan, Hai Phong and Tran, Xuan Tu and Yoneda, Tomohiro (2017) Power Consumption Estimation using VNOC2.0 Simulator for a Fuzzy-Logic based Low Power Network-on-Chip.
