Power consumption has become one of the ?rst order design considerations of the nano-scale VLSI designs. In this paper, we propose a methodology to synthesize energy-ef?cient Networks-on-Chip (NoCs). Our methodology features three key characters. First, we adopt a multicommodity ?ow formulation to unify network topologies, physical embedding, and wire style optimizations. Second, we utilize a variety of interconnect wire styles to achieve high performance low power on-chip communication. Third, we heuristically explore a large design space of network topologies. Experiments on a homogeneous communication demand model demonstrate that for a 4?4 NoC with torus topology, our methodology can achieve a power saving up to 35%.
