This paper presents a continuous voltage and frequency scaling approach achieving lower transition (both energy and time) overheads implied by changing voltage levels, at a very low power dissipation and silicon area cost for multi-processor systems with i ...
A Multiple Clock Domain (MCD) processor addresses the challenges of clock distribution and power dissipation by dividing a chip into several (coarse-grained) clock domains, allowing frequency and voltage to be reduced in domains that are not currently on t ...
Microprocessors are traditionally designed to provide “best overall” performance across a wide range of applications and operating environments. Several groups have proposed hardware techniques that save energy by “downsizing” hardware resources that are u ...
To provide a scalable communication infrastructure for Systems on Chips (SoCs), Networks on Chips (NoCs), a communication centric design paradigm is needed. To be cost effective, SoCs are often programmable and integrate several different applications or u ...
Nowaday, the world of processors is still dominated by the RISC architectures, which foundations have been laid down in the 70's. The RISC concept may be summarized by one word : simplicity. With this concept, much simpler architectures are born, in partic ...
Multiple clock domains is one solution to the increasing problem of propagating the clock signal across increasingly larger and faster chips. The ability to independently scale frequency and voltage in each domain creates a powerful means of reducing power ...
We describe the design, analysis, and performance of an on-line algorithm to dynamically control the frequency/voltage of a Multiple Clock Domain (MCD) microarchitecture. The MCD microarchitecture allows the frequency/voltage of micrprocessor regions to be ...
The Spyder project consists of the development of a reconfigurable processor as well as its application development environment. The name Spyder is an anagram of the first letters of "REconfigurable Processor Development SYstem", where the term reconfigura ...
In microprocessor-based systems, large power savings can be achieved through reduction of the transition activity of the on- and off-chip busses. This is because the total capacitance being switched when a voltage change occurs on a bus line is usually sen ...
