As process technology advances toward deep submicron (below 90nm), static power becomes a new challenge to address for energy-efficient high performance processors, especially for...
Energy-efficient microprocessor designs are one of the major concerns in both high performance and embedded processor domains. Furthermore, as process technology advances toward d...
In this paper we propose techniques to dynamically downsize or upsize a cache accompanied by cache set/line shutdown to produce efficient caches. Unlike previous approaches, resiz...
Extreme technology integration in the sub-micron regime comes with a rapid rise in heat dissipation and power density for modern processors. Dynamic voltage scaling is a widely us...
