Energy consumption is of significant concern in battery operated embedded systems. In the processors of such systems, the instruction cache consumes a significant fraction of the ...
Clock gating is the insertion of combinational logic along the clock path to prevent the unnecessary switching of registers and reduce dynamic power consumption. The conditions un...
This paper discusses the use of networks-on-chip (NoCs) consisting of multiple voltage-frequency islands to cope with power consumption, clock distribution and parameter variation...
: Spin-Torque Transfer Magnetic RAM (STT MRAM) is a promising candidate for future universal memory. It combines the desirable attributes of current memory technologies such as SRA...
