Abstract— This paper presents circuits that enable dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) for finegrained chip multi-processors to reduce both dynamic and leakage power di...
Scaling of CMOS technology causes the power supply voltages to fall and supply currents to rise at the same time as operating speeds are increasing. Falling supply voltages cause ...
