In this paper, we discuss on accuracy of several kinds of power dissipation model for CMOS VLSI circuits. Some researchers have proposed several efficient power estimation methods...
Power dissipation is unevenly distributed in modern microprocessors leading to localized hot spots with significantly greater die temperature than surrounding cooler regions. Exc...
Embedded computer systems are characterized by the presence of a dedicated processor and the software that runs on it. Power constraints are increasingly becoming the critical com...
The impact of pipeline length on both the power and performance of a microprocessor is explored both theoretically and by simulation. A theory is presented for a wide range of pow...
