As the power consumption of modern highperformance microprocessors increases beyond 100W, power becomes an increasingly important design consideration. This paper presents a novel...
- The power gating technique is useful in reducing standby leakage current, but it increases the gate delay. For a functional unit, its maximum allowable delay (for a target clock ...
Increasing microprocessor vulnerability to soft errors induced by neutron and alpha particle strikes prevents aggressive scaling and integration of transistors in future technologi...
