Thermal Aware Low Power Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter Design on FPGA

摘要

Green communication is the latest research trend practiced by researcher in green computing and network communication. There is no extensive work in green network design and no work in thermal aware network equipment design. In order to fill this research gap, we are going to design thermal aware energy efficient Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) that will create an avenue for thermal aware green communication. We had achieved 59.32% to 72.96% reduction when temperature varies from 15°C to 75°C and airflow is 250 Linear Feet Per Minute (LFM), and reduction is in range of 59.30% to 72.97%, when temperature varies from 15°C to 75°C and airflow is 500 LFM. This design is implemented on Virtex 6 Field programmable Gate Array (FPGA) using Verilog.
