Miniaturization of devices and the ensuing decrease in the threshold voltage has led to a substantial increase in the leakage component of the total processor energy consumption. ...
Centralized register file architectures scale poorly in terms of clock rate, chip area, and power consumption and are thus not suitable for consumer electronic devices. The conse...
Aim of this paper is to propose a methodology for the definition of an instruction-level energy estimation framework for VLIW (Very Long Instruction Word) processors. The power mo...
