Combined circuit and architectural level variable supply-voltage scaling for low power.

Combined circuit and architectural level variable supply-voltage scaling for low power.

Energy-efficient processor design is becoming more and more important with technology scaling and with high performance requirements. Supply-voltage scaling is an efficient way to reduce energy by lowering the operating voltage and the clock frequency of processor simultaneously. We propose a variab...
