: In a high performance microprocessor such as Digital's 300MHz Alpha 21164, the distribution of a high quality clock signal to all regions of the device is achieved using a c...
In many workloads, 25% to 50% of instructions have slack allowing them to be delayed without impacting performance. To exploit this slack, processors may implement more power-ef...
Due to shrinking technologies and increasing design sizes, it is becoming more difficult and expensive to distribute a global clock signal with low skew throughout a processor di...
— Domino circuits are used to achieve higher system performance than static CMOS techniques. This work briefly surveys domino keeper designs for high fan-in domino circuits. A ne...
