Process variations will increasingly impact the operational characteristics of integrated circuits in nanoscale semiconductor technologies. Researchers have proposed various desig...
Many techniques have been developed for adaptive power management of computing systems. These techniques rely on the presence of varying power phases to detect opportunities for a...
—The thermal gradients existing in high-performance circuits may significantly affect their timing behavior, in particular, by increasing the skew of the clock net and/or alteri...
In this paper, we identify the key challenges that oppose subthreshold circuit design and describe fabricated chips that verify techniques for overcoming the challenges. Categorie...

This paper addresses the problem of low-power fanout optimization. We show that due to neglecting short-circuit current, previous analytical techniques proposed to optimize the ar...
We propose a synergistic temperature and energy management scheme for GALS processors. Localized DVS is applied in domains that contain hotspots, permitting other critical domains...
Interprocessor synchronization, while extremely important for ensuring execution correctness, can be very costly in terms of both power and performance overheads. Unfortunately, m...
