As power consumption of the clock tree dominates over 40% of the total power in modern high performance VLSI designs, measures must be taken to keep it under control. One of the m...
Abstract— Clock gating is a popular technique for reducing power dissipation in clock network. Although there have been numerous research efforts on clock gating, the previous ap...
Lowering power is one of the greatest challenges facing the IC industry today. We present a power-aware placement method that simultaneously performs (1) activity-based register c...
