Current demand balancing a technique for minimization of current surge in high performance clock-gated microprocessors.

Current demand balancing a technique for minimization of current surge in high performance clock-gated microprocessors.

We propose an integrated architectural and physical planning approach to minimize the current surge in high-performance clock-gated microprocessors. In our approach, we use priority assignment optimization (PAO) and dynamic functional unit (FU) selection (DFS) to balance current demand in the floorp...
