This paper describes the AccuPower toolset -- a set of simulation tools accurately estimating the power dissipation within a superscalar microprocessor. AccuPower uses a true hard...
Fast carry chains featuring dedicated adder circuitry is a distinctive feature of modern FPGAs. The carry chains bypass the general routing network and are embedded in the logic b...
This paper presents a design methodology, called common-case computation (CCC), and new design automation algorithms for optimizing power consumption or performance. The proposed ...
