Nanometer circuits are highly susceptible to soft errors generated by alpha-particle or atmospheric neutron strikes to circuit nodes. The reasons for the high susceptibility are t...
On-chip L1 and L2 caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. In deep sub-micron technology, the subthreshold leakage power is becoming...
Exponentially rising cooling/packaging costs due to high power density call for architectural and software-level thermal management. Dynamic thermal management (DTM) techniques co...
