An event-guided approach to reducing voltage noise in processors
Abstract—Supply voltage fluctuations that result from inductive noise are increasingly troublesome in modern microprocessors. A voltage “emergency”, i.e., a swing beyond tol...

Variations-aware low-power design with voltage scaling
We present a new methodology which takes into consideration the effect of Within-Die (WID) process variations on a low-voltage parallel system. We show that in the presence of pro...
