Decap (decoupling capacitor) is an effective technique for suppressing power supply noise. Nevertheless, over-usage of decap usually causes excessive power dissipation. Therefore...
High power consumption and low energy efficiency have become significant impediments to future performance improvements in modern microprocessors. This paper contributes to the so...
Basic retiming is an algorithm originally developed for hardware optimization. Software pipelining is a technique proposed to increase instruction-level parallelism for parallel p...
— Architectural resources and program recurrences are the main limitations to the amount of Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) exploitable from loops, the most time-consuming pa...
Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) algorithms save energy by scaling down the processor frequency when the processor is not fully loaded. Many algorithms have been proposed for periodi...
