As transistors keep shrinking and on-chip data caches keep growing, static power dissipation due to leakage of caches takes an increasing fraction of total power in processors. Se...
Microprocessor designers use techniques such as clock gating to reduce power dissipation. An unfortunate side-effect of these techniques is the processor current fluctuations th...
