On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...
This paper describes a new on-demand wake-up prediction policy for reducing leakage power. The key insight is that branch prediction can be used to selectively wake up only the nee...
Reducing the supply voltage to reduce dynamic power consumption in CMOS devices, inadvertently will lead to an exponential increase in leakage power dissipation. In this work we ex...

Abstract. Power consumption is becoming one of the most important constraints for microprocessor design in nanometer-scale technologies. Especially, as the transistor supply voltag...
Excessive power consumption is widely considered as a major impediment to designing future microprocessors. With the continued scaling down of threshold voltages, the power consum...
