In an interactive embedded system, special task execution patterns and scheduling constraints exist due to frequent human-computer interactions. This paper proposes a transaction-...
In this paper, we observe that minimum energy Emin of subthreshold logic dramatically increases when reaching 45 nm node. We demonstrate by circuit simulation and analytical model...
