Practical Low-Weight Codes for Energy-Efficient Bus Encoding (opens in new tab)

We consider the transmission of data encoded into binary messages, with the goal of minimizing the Hamming distance, i.e., the number of bit-flips, between consecutive messages. This problem is relevant for enhancing the longevity of Non-Volatile Memories and reducing transition-induced energy consumption in data buses. Known as Write-Efficient Memory coding in the literature, this challenge has traditionally been addressed using optimal but com...
