Methods for true energy-performance optimization.

This paper presents methods for efficient energy-performance optimization at the circuit and micro-architectural levels. The optimal balance between energy and performance is achieved when the sensitivity of energy to a change in performance is equal for all the design variables. The sensitivity-bas...
