The problem of diagnosis – or locating the source of an error or fault – occurs in several areas of Computer Aided Design, such as dynamic verification, property checking, eq...
Traditionally, active power has been the primary source of power dissipation in CMOS designs. Although, leakage power is becoming increasingly more important as technology feature...
Improvements in semiconductor technology have made it possible to include multiple processor cores on a single die. Chip Multi-Processors (CMP) are an attractive choice for future...
Prior work has shown that collapsible pipelining techniques have the potential to significantly reduce clocking activity, which can consume up to 70% of the dynamic power in moder...
A new approach for power analysis of microprocessorshas recently been proposed [1]. The idea is to look at the power consumption in a microprocessor from the point of view of the ...
