DRAM power and energy efficiency considerations are becoming increasingly important for low-power and mobile systems. Using lower power modes provided by commodity DRAM chips redu...
Abstract--As a replacement for the fast-fading GloballySynchronous model, we have defined a flexible design style called GRLS, for Globally-Ratiochronous, Locally-Synchronous, whic...
Power has become the most critical design constraint for embedded handheld devices. This paper proposes a power-efficient SIMD architecture, referred to as Diet SODA, for DSP appl...

Gain cell embedded DRAMs are twice as dense as 6T SRAMs, are logic compatible, have decoupled read and write paths providing good low voltage margin, and can drive long bitlines w...
Thermal energy harvesting using micro-scale thermoelectric generators is a promising approach to alleviate the power supply challenge in ultra low power systems. In thermal energy...

Memories play a key role in FGPAs in the forms of both programming bits and embedded memory blocks. FPGAs using non-volatile memories have been the focus of attention with zero bo...
Runtime characteristics of individual threads (such as IPC, cache usage, etc.) are a critical factor in making efficient scheduling decisions in modern chip-multiprocessor systems...
