Interconnection networks have been deployed as the communication fabric in a wide range of parallel computer systems. With recent technological trends allowing growing quantities ...
Energy efficiency is a top requirement in embedded system design. Understanding the complex issue of software power consumption in early design phases is of extreme importance to m...
— Power gating is widely accepted as an efficient way to suppress subthreshold leakage current. Yet, it suffers from gate leakage current, which grows very fast with scaling dow...
