In this paper, we investigate the problem of repeater insertion for low power under a given timing budget. We propose a novel repeater insertion algorithm to compute the optimal r...
Gating the clock is an important technique used in low power design to disable unused modules of a circuit. Gating can save power by both preventing unnecessary activiiy in the lo...
We describe an automated environment to assist a system-on-achip designer to tune a microprocessor core to a particular application program that will run on the microprocessor, an...
