The major chip manufacturers have all introduced chip multiprocessing (CMP) and simultaneous multithreading (SMT) technology into their processing units. As a result, even low-end...
It is now well established that the device scaling predicted by Moore’s Law is no longer a viable option for increasing the clock frequency of future uniprocessor systems at the...

Microprocessor designers use techniques such as clock gating to reduce power dissipation. An unfortunate side-effect of these techniques is the processor current fluctuations th...
