Light-weight embedded systems are now gaining more popularity due to the recent technological advances in fabrication that have resulted in more powerful tiny processors with grea...
—Fuel cell (FC) is a viable alternative power source for portable applications; it has higher energy density than traditional Li-ion battery and thus can achieve longer lifetime ...
All existing methods for thermal-via allocation are based on a steady-state thermal analysis and may lead to excessive number of thermal vias. This paper develops an accurate and ...
—An increasing number of architectural techniques rely on hardware counting bloom filters (CBFs) to improve upon the enegy, delay and complexity of various processor structures. ...
As transistors continue to scale down into the nanometer regime, device leakage currents are becoming the dominant cause of power dissipation in nanometer caches, making it essent...
As semiconductor manufacturing technology scales to smaller device sizes, the power consumption of clocked digital ICs begins to increase. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (D...

In recent years, Globally Asynchronous Locally Synchronous (GALS) designs and dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) have emerged as some of the most popular approaches to address the ever...
In this paper, we propose an effective dynamic thermal management (DTM) scheme for MPEG-2 decoding by allowing some degree of spatiotemporal quality degradation. Given a target MP...
Sub-threshold operation is a compelling approach for energyconstrained applications, but increased sensitivity to variation must be mitigated. We explore variability metrics and t...
