Many techniques for power management employed in advanced RTL synthesis tools rely explicitly or implicitly on observability don’t-care (ODC) conditions. In this paper we presen...
This paper explores the use of serial circuits for ultra-low-power sub-threshold systems. A serial system leads to a smaller design and higher utilization, yielding 40% active ene...
With the popularity of multi-core architecture, to sustain the memory demands from different cores, the memory system is expected to grow significantly in both speed and capacit...
This paper presents an evaluation to determine the importance of the accurate thermal characterization for several elements of a semiconductor device. Specifically, it evaluates ...
We present experimental analysis to exploit the sequence dependence on energy saving in error tolerant image processing. Our analysis shows that the error distributions depend not...
