Power savings/hardware overhead comparisons.
| Related work | Characteristics | Power savings comparing to no algorithm | Hardware overhead |
| [1] | 2D mesh topology, Uniform traffic | ~37,5%—turning on/off 2 links per router | N/A |
| [11] | 2D mesh topology, Pareto distribution—0.5 packet injection rate | ~30% | 500 equivalent logic gates per router port Delay ignored |
| Proposed ANN-based technique | 2D mesh topology and torus topology,uniform traffic | Up to ~40%—turning on/off links based on ANN prediction | 4% of the NoC hardware for a complete Mesh NoC |
