Designers have invested much effort in developing accurate branch predictors with short learning periods. Such techniques rely on exploiting complex and relatively large structure...
Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is a well-known low-power design technique for embedded real-time systems. Because of its effectiveness on energy reduction, several variable voltag...
In this paper we investigate the statistics of multiplier operands and identify two characteristics of their distribution that have important consequences for the design of low po...
Mobile, battery-powered devices such as personal digital assistants and web-enabled mobile phones have successfully emerged as new access points to the world’s digital infrastru...
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-...
