Balancing System Level Pipelines with Stage Voltage Scaling

This paper presents an approach to dynamically balance the pipeline by scaling the stage supply voltages. Simulation results show that by such an approach about 50% improvement in throughput and response time, and 11% improvement in power consumption can be achieved with limited memory overhead.
