Voltage Noise in Production Processors
Abstract—Parameter variations have become a dominant challenge in microprocessor design. Voltage variation is especially daunting because it happens so rapidly. We measure and ch...

Slack redistribution for graceful degradation under voltage overscaling
Modern digital IC designs have a critical operating point, or "wall of slack", that limits voltage scaling. Even with an errortolerance mechanism, scaling voltage below a...

An Energy-Conscious Exploration Methodology for Reconfigurable DSPs
As the "system-on-a-chip" concept is rapidly becoming a reality, time-to-market and product complexity push the reuse of complex macromodules. Circuits combining a varie...
