Compiler-Directed Functional Unit Shutdown for Microarchitecture Power Optimization
Leakage power is a major concern in current microarchitectures as it is increasing exponentially with decreasing transistor feature sizes. In this paper, we present a technique ca...

Compiler-directed instruction cache leakage optimization
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...

Instruction cache leakage reduction by changing register operands and using asymmetric sram cells
Share of leakage in cache memories is increasing with technology scaling. Studies show that most stored bits in instruction caches are zero, and hence, asymmetric SRAM cells which...

Improving Energy Efficiency of Configurable Caches via Temperature-Aware Configuration Selection
Active power used to be the primary contributor to total power dissipation of CMOS designs, but with the technology scaling, the share of leakage in total power consumption of dig...

On the Limits of Leakage Power Reduction in Caches
If current technology scaling trends hold, leakage power dissipation will soon become the dominant source of power consumption in high performance processors. Caches, due to the f...
