Endpoint devices for Internet-of-Things not only need to work under extremely tight power
envelope of a few milliwatts, but also need to be flexible in their computing capabilities, from …

Leakage power is a major concern in current and future microprocessor designs. In this
paper, we explore the potential of architectural techniques to reduce leakage through power …

In CMOS circuits, the reduction of the threshold voltage due to voltage scaling leads to
increase in subthreshold leakage current and hence static power dissipation. We propose a …

The Elmore delay is an extremely popular delay metric, particularly for RC tree analysis. The
widespread usage of this metric is mainly attributable to it being the most accurate delay …

Power gating is usually driven by a predictive control, and frequent mispredictions can
counter-productively lead to a large increase in energy consumption. This energy …

Static energy due to subthreshold leakage current is projected to become a major
component of the total energy in high performance microprocessors. Many studies so far …

Power gating is a technique commonly used for leakage reduction in integrated circuits. In
microprocessors, power gating is implemented by using sleep transistors to selectively …

Energy transparency is a concept that makes a program's energy consumption visible, from
hardware up to software, through the different system layers. Such transparency can enable …

Power leakage constitutes an increasing fraction of the total power consumption in modern
semiconductor technologies. Recent research efforts indicate that architectures, compilers …

Power and energy efficiency are on the top priority list in embedded computing. Embedded
processors taped out in deep submicron technology have a high contribution of static power …
