We present a novel technique to exploit the power-performance tradeoff. The technique can be used stand-alone or in conjunction with dynamic voltage scaling, the mainstream techn...
ACE analysis is a technique to provide an early reliability estimate for microprocessors. ACE analysis couples data from performance models with low level design details to identi...
Field programmable dual-Vdd interconnects are effective to reduce FPGA power. Assuming uniform length interconnects, existing work has developed time slack budgeting to minimize p...
VLSI timing analysis and power estimation target the same circuit switching activity. Power estimation techniques are categorized as (1) static, (2) statistical, and (3) simulatio...
Due to shrinking technologies and increasing design sizes, it is becoming more difficult and expensive to distribute a global clock signal with low skew throughout a processor di...
