Dual-supply voltage design using a clustered voltage scaling (CVS) scheme is an effective approach to reduce chip power. The optimal CVS design relies on a level converter (LC) im...
Reliability-aware power management (RAPM) schemes, which consider the negative effects of voltage scaling on system reliability, were recently studied to save energy while preserv...
Energy dissipation in cache memories is becoming a major design issue in embedded microprocessors. Predictive filter cache based instruction cache hierarchy is effective in reduci...
Thermal gradients across the die are becoming increasingly prominent as we scale further down into the sub-nanometer regime. While temperature was never a primary concern, its non...
A new circuit technique is proposed in this paper for simultaneously reducing the subthreshold and gate oxide leakage power in domino logic circuits. PMOS-only sleep transistors ar...
