Leakage power is a major concern in current and future microprocessor designs. In this paper, we explore the potential of architectural techniques to reduce leakage through power-...
This paper makes the idea of memory shadowing [5] applicable to symbolic ternary simulation. Memory shadowing, an extension of Burch and Dill's pipeline verification method [...
Power consumption has become a very important metric and challenging research topic in the design of microprocessors in the recent years. The goal of this work is to improve power...
