DCG deterministic clock-gating for low-power microprocessor design.

DCG deterministic clock-gating for low-power microprocessor design.

With the scaling of technology and the need for higher performance and more functionality, power dissipation is becoming a major bottleneck for microprocessor designs. Because clock power can be significant in high-performance processors, we propose a deterministic clock-gating (DCG) technique which...
