Abstract-- The power consumption of microprocessors has been increasing in step with the complexity of each progressive generation. In general purpose processors, this is primarily...
—This paper studies the important interaction between parallelization and energy consumption in a parallelizable application. Given the ratio of serial and parallel portion in an...
If current technology scaling trends hold, leakage power dissipation will soon become the dominant source of power consumption in high performance processors. Caches, due to the f...
Many of today’s embedded systems, such as wireless and portable devices rely heavily on the limited power supply. Therefore, energy efficiency becomes one of the major design con...
