Straining of silicon improves mobility of carriers resulting in speed enhancement for transistors in CMOS technology. Traditionally, silicon straining is applied in a similar ad-h...
In this paper we propose a novel integrated circuit and architectural level technique to reduce leakage power consumption in high performance cache memories using single Vt (trans...
— Clock-gating and power-gating have proven to be very effective solutions for reducing dynamic and static power, respectively. The two techniques may be coupled in such a way th...
