Increasing focus on power dissipation issues in current microprocessors has led to a host of proposals for clock gating and other power-saving techniques. While generally effectiv...
: In a high performance microprocessor such as Digital's 300MHz Alpha 21164, the distribution of a high quality clock signal to all regions of the device is achieved using a c...
Power consumption is becoming an increasingly important constraint in the design of microprocessors. This paper examines the use of multiple constrained processors running at lowe...
