-- Power-gating is a technique for efficiently reducing leakage power by shutting off the idle blocks. However, the presence of power-gating may also introduce negative effects on ...
The placement of on-die decoupling capacitors (decap) between the power and ground supply grids has become a common practice in high performance processor designs. In this paper, ...
The advent of nanometer feature sizes in silicon fabrication has triggered a number of new design challenges for computer designers. These challenges include design complexity and...
Traditional approaches for sequential logic optimization include (1) explicit state-based techniques such as state minimization, (2) structural techniques such as retiming, and (3...
This paper describes a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) technique for MPEG decoding to reduce the energy consumption while maintaining a quality of service (QoS) constr...
