Abstract. ACPI (Advanced Configuration Power Interface) allows operating systems to efficiently configure the hardware platform they are running on and deal with power management...
— Cycle-accurate functional descriptions (CAFDs) are being widely adopted in integrated circuit (IC) design flows. Power estimation can potentially benefit from the inherent in...

Abstract— The analysis of effects induced by interconnects become increasingly important as the scale of process technologies steadily shrinks. While most analyses focus on the t...
The clock distribution and generation circuitry is known to consume more than a quarter of the power budget of existing microprocessors. A previously derived clock energy model is...
