In the nanometer VLSI technology, the variation effects like manufacturing variation, power supply noise, temperature etc. become very significant. As one of the most vital nets...
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...
Even after carefully tuning the memory characteristics to the application properties and the processor speed, during the execution of real applications there are times when the pr...

Commercial designs are currently integrating from 10 to 100 embedded processors in a single system on chip (SoC) and the number is likely to increase significantly in the near fut...
Extensive research has proposed the use of multiple on-die power supplies (VDD) for reducing power consumption in CMOS circuits. We present a detailed study and design techniques ...
