Power dissipation is a major concern not only for portable systems, but also for high-performance systems. In the past, energy consumption and processor heating was reduced mainly...
This paper proposes a new low power cache architecture that utilizes fault tolerance to allow aggressively reduced voltage levels. The fault tolerant overhead circuits consume lit...
