In this paper, we introduce the use of slow-silent virtual channels to reduce the switching power of on-chip networks while keeping the leakage power small. Adding virtual channel...
We present a novel algorithm that assigns codes to instructions during instruction code compression in order to minimize bus-related bit-toggling and thus reducing power consumpti...
This paper presents the design of a low power spread spectrum correlator. We look at two major approaches and evaluate the best alternative for power reduction. We first consider...
Abstract-- Power has become a major concern for mobile computing systems such as laptops and handhelds, on which a significant fraction of software usage is interactive instead of ...
This paper explores the role of branch predictor organization in power/energy/performance tradeoffs for processor design. We find that as a general rule, to reduce overall energy ...
