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...
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...
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...
The need to perform early design studies that combine architectural simulation with power estimation has become critical as power has become a design constraint whose importance h...

We present a novel temperature/leakage sensor, developed for high-speed, low-power, monitoring of processors and complex VLSI chips. The innovative idea is the use of 4T SRAM cell...
Traditionally, dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) techniques have focused on minimizing the processorenergy consumption as opposed to the entire system energy consumption. The slowdown...
This paper re-examines the well established clocking principles of pipelines. It is observed that clock gating techniques that have long been assumed optimal in reality produce a ...
