Multicore architectures, especially chip multi-processors, have been widely acknowledged
as a successful design paradigm. Existing approaches primarily target application-driven …

A Dual-Edge-Triggered (DET) flip-flop (FF) that can reliably operate at low voltage is
proposed in this paper. Unlike the conventional Single-Edge-Triggered (SET) flip-flops, DET …

Reuse of large-grain software components offers the potential for significant savings in
application development cost and time. Successful comuonent reuse and substitutability …

This article presents a power management unit (PMU) enabling ultra-wide power-
performance tradeoff well beyond voltage scaling, and adaptation to the sensed …

Following the trend of increasing autonomy in real-time systems, multi-core System-on-
Chips (SoCs) have enabled devices to better handle the large streams of data and intensive …

Groupware systems are a special class of distributed computing systems which support
human-computer-human interaction. Real-time collaborative graphics editors allow a group …

Management of a problem recently known as “dark silicon” is a new challenge in multicore
designs. Prior innovative studies have addressed the dark silicon problem in the fields of …

Dynamic cache reconfiguration (DCR) is an effective technique to optimize energy
consumption in many-core architectures. While early work on DCR has shown promising …

This paper introduces dynamically adaptable pipelines to enable microarchitecture-driven
voltage scaling, adapting the microarchitecture to the most energy-efficient configuration for …

Dynamic cache reconfiguration has been widely explored for energy optimization and
performance improvement for single-core systems. Cache partitioning techniques are …
