Continuous technology scaling has resulted in an increase in both, the power density as well as the variation in device dimensions (process variations) of the manufactured process...
— Reducing the leakage power in embedded SRAM memories is critical for low-power applications. Raising the source voltage of SRAM cells in standby mode reduces the leakage curren...
While the dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) techniques are efficient in reducing the dynamic energy consumption for the processor, varying voltage alone becomes less effective for t...
Leakage current is a key factor in IC power consumption even in the active operating mode. We investigate the simultaneous optimization of gate size and threshold voltage to reduc...
The impact of pipeline length on both the power and performance of a microprocessor is explored both theoretically and by simulation. A theory is presented for a wide range of pow...
