Power gating is emerging as a viable solution to reduction of leakage current. However, power gated circuits are different from the conventional designs in the sense that a power-...
In this paper, we propose a new methodology to integrate circuit transformation into routing. More specifically, this paper shows an approach for performing routing and wire recon...
In this paper we describe a hardware design method for memory and register arrays that allows the application of formal equivalence checking for comparing a high-level register tr...
The issue logic of a superscalar processor dissipates a large amount of static and dynamic power. Furthermore, its power density makes it a hot-spot requiring expensive cooling sy...
Modern microprocessors adopt speculative scheduling techniques where instructions are scheduled several clock cycles before they actually execute. Due to this scheduling delay, sc...
