- Traditionally, minimum possible area of a VLSI layout is considered the best for delay and power minimization due to decreased interconnect capacitance. This paper shows however ...
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...
Gate oxide tunneling current (Igate) is emerging as a key roadblock for device scaling in nanometer-scale CMOS circuits. A practical means to reduce Igate is to leverage dual Tox ...

Leakage power is becoming a dominant contributor to the total power consumption and dual-Vth assignment is an efficient technique to decrease leakage power, for which effective de...
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...
