High-level power estimation, when given only a high-level design specification such as a functional or RTL description, requires high-level estimation of the circuit average acti...
As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...
We propose instruction-driven slicing, a new technique for annotating microprocessor descriptions at the Register Transfer Level (RTL) in order to achieve lower power dissipation....
