With the popularity of multi-core architecture, to sustain the memory demands from different cores, the memory system is expected to grow significantly in both speed and capacit...
Many techniques for power management employed in advanced RTL synthesis tools rely explicitly or implicitly on observability don’t-care (ODC) conditions. In this paper we presen...
Emerging organic light-emitting diode (OLED)-based displays have drastically different power consumption when displaying different colors, due to their emissive nature. They bring...
The theoretical lower limit of subthreshold swing in MOSFETs (60 mV/decade) significantly restricts low voltage operation since it results in a low ON to OFF current ratio at low ...

While researchers have invested substantial effort to build architectural power models, validating such models has proven difficult at best. In this paper, we examine the accurac...

In this paper, we observe that minimum energy Emin of subthreshold logic dramatically increases when reaching 45 nm node. We demonstrate by circuit simulation and analytical model...

Power gating is usually driven by a predictive control, and frequent mispredictions can counter-productively lead to a large increase in energy consumption. This energy vulnerabil...
Several multithreading techniques have been proposed to reduce resource underutilization in Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) processors. Simultaneous MultiThreading (SMT) is a po...
