If current technology scaling trends hold, leakage power dissipation will soon become the dominant source of power consumption in high performance processors. Caches, due to the f...
In a few technology generations, limitations of fabrication processes will make accurate design time power estimates a daunting challenge. Static leakage current which comprises a...
The share of leakage in cache power consumption increases with technology scaling. Choosing a higher threshold voltage (Vth) and/or gate-oxide thickness (Tox) for cache transistor...
On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...
SRAM leakage power dominates the total power of low duty-cycle applications, e.g., sensor nodes. Accordingly, leakage power reduction during data-retention in SRAM standby is ofte...
