一句话：提出概念验证设计，评估以重计算替代数据存储与通信的能效前景，并给出设计准则。
随着工艺缩放导致数据存储与通信的能耗远超实际计算能耗，重新计算数据可能比存储并取回预计算数据更节能，同时还能减轻存储层次和通信带宽的压力。本文因此系统评估以计算换取通信的能效前景。作者提出一个说明性的概念验证设计，分析其可行性与实际限制，并据此总结设计准则。评估关注重计算策略的能效收益及其在存储/通信瓶颈下的适用条件，为后续架构与系统设计提供参考。
Due to imbalances in technology scaling, the energy consumption of data storage and communication by far exceeds the energy consumption of actual data production, i.e., computation. As a consequence, recomputing data can become more energy efficient than storing and retrieving precomputed data. At the same time, recomputation can relax the pressure on the memory hierarchy and the communication bandwidth. This study hence assesses the energy efficiency prospects of trading computation for communication. We introduce an illustrative proof-of-concept design, identify practical limitations, and provide design guidelines.
