Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) processors are becoming popular because they exploit both instruction-level and threadlevel parallelism by issuing instructions from different t...
As semiconductor manufacturing technology scales to smaller device sizes, the power consumption of clocked digital ICs begins to increase. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (D...

Abstract--Leakage power consumption contributes significantly to the overall power dissipation for systems that are manufactured in advanced deep sub-micron technology. Different f...
e technique is based on abstract execution profiles, called event signatures, and it operates at a higher level of abstraction than, for example, commonly used instruction-set sim...
