The memory hierarchy of a system can consume up to 50% of microprocessor system power. Previous work has shown that tuning a configurable cache to a particular application can red...
Minimizing power consumption is one of the most important objectives in IC design. Resizing gates and assigning different Vt’s are common ways to meet power and timing budgets. ...
Voltage islands enable core-level power optimization for Systemon-Chip (SoC) designs by utilizing a unique supply voltage for each core. Architecting voltage islands involves isla...
