Abstract :
Although most large-scale systems are designed with the network as a central component, the interconnection network´s energy consumption has received little attention. However, several software and hardware approaches can increase the interconnection network´s power efficiency by using the network more efficiently or using throttling bandwidths to reduce the power consumption of unneeded resources.
