High-level area and power estimation for VLSI circuits
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...

Clock-tree power optimization based on RTL clock-gating
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...

Automatic insertion of low power annotations in RTL for pipelined microprocessors
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....
