Low-Power Near-Threshold Design: Techniques to Improve Energy Efficiency Energy-efficient near-threshold design has been proposed to increase energy efficiency across a wid

Energy-efficient near-threshold design has been proposed to increase energy efficiency across a wide range of applications. This article first provides a background motivating near-threshold and how it differs from super-threshold and subthreshold …

Limits of Parallelism and Boosting in Dim Silicon

Supply-voltage scaling has stagnated in recent technology nodes, leading to so-called dark silicon. To increase overall chip multiprocessor (CMP) performance, it is necessary to improve the energy efficiency of individual tasks so that more tasks can …

Bubble Razor: An architecture-independent approach to timing-error detection and correction

Several methods that eliminate timing margins by detecting and correcting transient delay errors have been proposed. These Razor-style systems replace critical flip-flops with ones that detect late arriving signals, and use architectural replay to …
