On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...
With process scaling, leakage power reduction has become one of the most important design concerns. Multi-threshold techniques have been used to reduce runtime leakage power witho...

- Traditionally, minimum possible area of a VLSI layout is considered the best for delay and power minimization due to decreased interconnect capacitance. This paper shows however ...
— Run-time Active Leakage Reduction (RALR) is a recent technique and aims at aggressively reducing leakage power consumption. This paper studies the feasibility of RALR from the ...
Technology scaling has resulted in an exponential increase in the leakage power as well as the variations in leakage power of fabricated chips. Functional units (FUs), like Intege...
