Impact of FinFET on Near-Threshold Voltage Scalability

Near-threshold operations provide a powerful knob for improving energy efficiency and alleviating on-chip power densities. This article explores the impact of newest FinFET CMOS technologies (from 40 to 7 nm) on near-threshold computing in terms of …

Assessing the Performance Limits of Parallelized Near-threshold Computing

Supply voltage scaling has stagnated in recent technology nodes, leading to so-called "dark silicon." In this paper, we investigate the limit of voltage scaling together with task parallelization to maintain task completion latency. When accounting …
