Modern processors are using increasingly larger sized on-chip caches. Also, with each
CMOS technology generation, there has been a significant increase in their leakage energy …

In this paper, we introduce Cellular Automata--a dynamic evolution model to intuitively
detect the salient object. First, we construct a background-based map using color and space …

Off-state leakage is static power, current that leaks through transistors even when they are
turned off. The other source of power dissipation in today's microprocessors, dynamic power …

Is your memory hierarchy stop** your microprocessor from performing at the high level it
should be? Memory Systems: Cache, DRAM, Disk shows you how to resolve this problem …

On-chip caches represent a sizable fraction of the total power consumption of
microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have …

Power dissipation is increasingly important in CPUs ranging from those intended for mobile
use, all the way up to high-performance processors for high-end servers. While the bulk of …

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 …

Static power dissipation due to transistor leakage constitutes an increasing fraction of the
total power in modern semiconductor technologies. Current technology trends indicate that …

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 …

In the last few years, power dissipation has become an important design constraint, on par
with performance, in the design of new computer systems. Whereas in the past, the primary …
