Leakage power has grown significantly and is a major challenge in microprocessor design. Leakage is the dominant power component in second-level (L2) caches. This paper presents t...
This paper proposes a combination of circuit and architectural techniques to maximize leakage power reduction in embedded processor on-chip caches. It targets cache peripheral cir...

In this paper we propose a novel integrated circuit and architectural level technique to reduce leakage power consumption in high performance cache memories using single Vt (trans...
To minimize the surging power consumption of microprocessors, adaptive computing environments (ACEs) where microarchitectural resources can be dynamically tuned to match a program...
