Technology scaling improves the energy, performance, and area of the digital circuits. With further scaling into sub-45nm regime, we are moving toward very low supply (VDD) and threshold voltages (VT), smaller VDD/VT ratio, high leakage current, and large ...
Architectures depict design principles, paradigms that can be understood by all, allow thinking on a higher plane and avoiding low-level mistakes. They provide means for ensuring correctness by construction by enforcing global properties characterizing the ...
Architectures allow shifting the focus of developers from low-level code to high-level structures ensuring coordination in component-based systems. If the architecture description language is expressive enough, it is possible to describe architectures in a ...
The growing explosion of digital data motivates renewed emphasis on new architectures for future data-centric workloads. At the same time, the inability of power to scale with increasing transistor counts has led to a recent focus on “dark silicon” designs ...
Subthreshold logic can dramatically reduce energy consumption, if the increased circuit delay is of secondary importance. To gain widespread adoption of this design technique (where V-dd < V-th), one of the important consideration is to improve the energy ...

Semiconductor device research for digital circuit design is currently facing increasing challenges to enhance miniaturization and performance. A huge economic push and the interest in novel applications are stimulating the development of new pathways to ov ...
Ultra-low-power (ULP) software-programmable architectures are gradually replacing dedicated VLSI circuits in many applications, including health care and other critical areas. However, the cost for more flexibility is the less frugal use of energy. This c ...

The main aim of this thesis is to examine the advantages of 3D stacking applied to microprocessors and related integrated microprocessor systems in the architectural level. In the succession of years microprocessors are aiming towards lower power consumpti ...
