Due to increasing clock speeds and shrinking technologies, distributing a single global clock signal throughout a chip is becoming a difficult and challenging proposition. In this...
The ability to do fine grain power management via local voltage selection has shown much promise via the use of Voltage/ Frequency Islands (VFIs). VFI-based designs combine the a...
Abstract--As a replacement for the fast-fading GloballySynchronous model, we have defined a flexible design style called GRLS, for Globally-Ratiochronous, Locally-Synchronous, whic...
Due to high levels of integration and complexity, the design of multi-core SoCs has become increasingly challenging. In particular, energy consumption and distributing a single gl...
Adaptive Body Biasing (ABB) is a popularly used technique to mitigate the increasing impact of manufacturing process variations on leakage power dissipation. The efficacy of the ...
