Post-fabrication tuning for mitigating manufacturing variability is receiving a significant attention. To reduce leakage increase involved in performance compensation by body bia...
In an interactive embedded system, special task execution patterns and scheduling constraints exist due to frequent human-computer interactions. This paper proposes a transaction-...
Extreme technology integration in the sub-micron regime comes with a rapid rise in heat dissipation and power density for modern processors. Dynamic voltage scaling is a widely us...

This paper explores the use of serial circuits for ultra-low-power sub-threshold systems. A serial system leads to a smaller design and higher utilization, yielding 40% active ene...
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...
