Thread-level speculation (TLS) allows potentially dependent threads to speculatively execute in parallel, thus making it easier for the compiler to extract parallel threads. Howeve...
In recent literature it has been reported that Dynamic Power Management (DPM) may lead to decreased reliability in real-time embedded systems. The ever-shrinking device sizes cont...

Clock gating is the insertion of combinational logic along the clock path to prevent the unnecessary switching of registers and reduce dynamic power consumption. The conditions un...
Achieving high performance under a peak temperature limit is a first-order concern for VLSI designers. This paper presents a new model of a thermally-managed system, where a stoch...
The issue logic of a superscalar processor dissipates a large amount of static and dynamic power. Furthermore, its power density makes it a hot-spot requiring expensive cooling sy...
