This paper first presents an analytical interconnect energy model with consideration of event coupling, which is not considered by the conventional 1 2CV2 model. Our energy calcul...
Asynchronous design has been the focus of renewed interest. However, a key bottleneck is the lack of high-quality CAD tools for the synthesis of large-scale systems which also all...
We highlight several fundamental challenges to designing highperformance integrated circuits in nanometer-scale technologies (i.e. drawn feature sizes < 100 nm). Dynamic power ...
This paper presents a method of using texture mapping with mipmapping to render a VLSI layout. Texture mapping is used to save already rasterized areas of the layout from frame to...
A software energy estimation methodology is presented that avoids explicit characterization of instruction energy consumption and predicts energy consumption to within 3% accuracy...
Portable systems require long battery lifetime while still delivering high performance. Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) algorithms reduce energy consumption by changing processor sp...

In modern embedded systems including communication and multimedia applications, large fraction of power is consumed during memory access and data transfer. Thus, buses should be d...
