On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...
With the aggressive scaling of the CMOS technology parametric variation of the transistor threshold voltage causes significant spread in the circuit delay as well as leakage spect...
As a result of aggressive technology scaling, gate leakage (gate oxide direct tunneling) has become a major component of total power dissipation. Use of dielectrics of higher perm...
