High-level power estimation, when given only a high-level design specification such as a functional or RTL description, requires high-level estimation of the circuit average acti...
We present a vector selection methodology for estimating the peak power dissipation in a CMOS logic circuit. The ultimate goal is to combine the speed of RT-level simulation with ...
As VLSI technology reaches 45nm technology node, leakage power optimization has become a major design challenge. Threshold voltage (vt) assignment has been extensively studied, du...
Embedded cryptosystems show increased vulnerabilities to implementation attacks such as power analysis. CMOS technology trends are causing increased process variations which impac...
Designing temperature-aware microarchitectures for microprocessors at new technologies is becoming a critical requirement due to the exponentially increasing on-chip power density...
