Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...
This paper presents a modular optimization framework for custom digital circuits in the power – performance space. The method uses a static timer and a nonlinear optimizer to max...
This paper presents methods for efficient power minimization at circuit and micro-architectural levels. The potential energy savings are strongly related to the energy profile of ...

In general-purpose microprocessors, recent trends have pushed towards 64-bit word widths, primarily to accommodate the large addressing needs of some programs. Many integer proble...
† The limits on CMOS energy dissipation imposed by subthreshold leakage currents and by wiring capacitance are investigated for CMOS generations beyond 50nm at NTRS projected loc...
