Neural-inspired branch predictors achieve very low branch misprediction rates. However, previously proposed implementations have a variety of characteristics that make them challe...
Dynamic power consumed in CMOS gates goes down quadratically with the supply voltage. By maintaining a high supply voltage for gates on the critical path and by using a low supply...
— Recent studies indicate that a considerable amount of an L2 cache leakage power is dissipated in its peripheral circuits, e.g., decoders, word-lines and I/O drivers. In additio...

Dual threshold technique has been proposed to reduce leakage power in low voltage and low power circuits by applying a high threshold voltage to some transistors in non-critical p...
Although algorithms that employ dynamic reconfiguration are extremely fast, they need the underlying architecture to change structure very rapidly, possibly at each step of the c...
