In the recent years, power consumption has become increasingly an important design concern as silicon area and performance in modern computer systems design. Several factors have ...
As the VLSI technology marches beyond 65 and 45nm process technologies, variation in gate length has a direct impact on leakage and performance of CMOS transistors. Due to sub-wav...
With each technology node shrink, a silicon chip becomes more susceptible to soft errors. The susceptibility further increases as the voltage is scaled down to save energy. Based ...
