A considerable portion of a chip is dedicated to a cache memory in a modern microprocessor chip. However, some applications may not actively need all the cache storage, especially...
— Next generation multimedia mobile phones that use the high bandwidth 3G cellular radio network consume more power. Multimedia algorithms such as speech, video transcodecs have ...
Abstract--The now commonplace multi-core chips have introduced, by design, a deep hierarchy of memory and cache banks within parallel computers as a tradeoff between the user frien...
Portable embedded systems are being driven by consumer demands to be thermally efficient, perform faster, and have longer battery life. To design such a system, various hardware un...
As a basic cell of arithmetic circuits, a one-bit full adder and a counter are usually used. Minimizing power consumption of these components is a key issue for low-power circuit ...
