Power reduction is becoming more important as circuit size increases. This paper presents a tool called PowerCutter which employs accuracy-guaranteed word-length optimization to r...
This paper describes a new design methodology to analyze the on-chip power supply noise for high performance microprocessors. Based on an integrated package-level and chip-level p...
This paper addresses the problem of power-optimal repeater insertion for global buses in the presence of crosstalk noise. MTCMOS technique by inserting high-Vth sleep transistors ...
In this paper, we note and analyze a key trade-off: as the complexity of caches increases (higher set-associativity, larger block size, and larger overall size), the power consume...
