The placement of on-die decoupling capacitors (decap) between the power and ground supply grids has become a common practice in high performance processor designs. In this paper, ...
This paper proposes Noise-Direct, a design methodology for power integrity aware floorplanning, using microarchitectural feedback to guide module placement. Stringent power constr...

Presented in this paper are 1) information-theoretic lower bounds on energy consumption of noisy digital gates and 2) the concept of noise tolerance via coding for achieving energy...
Techniques to reduce power dissipation for embedded systems have recently come into sharp focus in the technology development. Among these techniques, dynamic voltage scaling (DVS)...
