The increasing prominence of portable systems and the need to limit power consumption and hence, heat dissipation in very high density VLSI chips have led to rapid and innovative ...
Abstract--Thermal issues are fast becoming major design constraints in high-performance systems. Temperature variations adversely affect system reliability and prompt worst-case de...

This paper presents a technique for high-level power estimation of microprocessors. The technique, which is based on abstract execution profiles called ’event signatures’, op...
Power consumption has gained much saliency in circuit design recently. One design problem is modelled as ”Under a timing constraint, to minimize power as much as possible”. Pr...
