This paper proposes a non-uniform cache architecture for reducing the power consumption of memory systems. The nonuniform cache allows having different associativity values (i.e.,...
This paper proposes a hybrid memory architecture which consists of the following two regions; 1) a dynamic power conscious region which uses low Vdd and Vth and 2) a static power ...
Lowering power consumption in microprocessors, whether used in portables or not, has now become one of the most critical design concerns. On-chip cache memories tend to occupy dom...

- This paper presents encoding techniques to optimize the switching activity on a multiplexed DRAM address bus. The DRAM switching activity can be classified either as external (be...
Several types of low power passive equalizer is proposed and optimized in this work. The equalizer topologies include T-junction, parallel R-C and series R-L structures. These str...
