Execution Dependence Extension (EDE): ISA Support For Eliminating Fences
By Various Writers - 13 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

Fence instructions are a coarse-grained mechanism to enforce the order of instruction execution in an out-of-order pipeline. They are an overkill for cases when only one instruction must wait for the completion of one other instruction. For example, this is the case when performing undo logging in Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) systems: while the update of a variable needs to wait until the correspo... » read more

Generalized Class-E Power Amplifier With Shunt Capacitance And Shunt Filter
By Various Writers - 16 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

This paper presents a generalized analysis of the Class-E power amplifier (PA) with a shunt capacitance and a shunt filter, leading to a revelation of a unique design flexibility that can be exploited either to extend the maximum operating frequency of the PA or to allow the use of larger active devices with higher power handling capability. The proposed PA fulfills zero voltage switching (ZVS)... » read more

Memory Power Reduction In SoC Designs Using PowerPro MG
By Various Writers - 07 May, 2014 - Comments: 0

Memories occupy over 50% of the silicon real estate on most modern SoCs and account for 50% to 70% of the power dissipation. We will show how Calypto’s PowerPro MG tool can significantly reduce the dynamic and leakage power consumption in memories by automatically inserting new memory gating logic to remove redundant reads/writes and control the sleep modes available in these memories. To ... » read more

Formal Verification Of Power-Aware Designs Using JasperGold Low Power Verification App
By Various Writers - 07 May, 2014 - Comments: 1

Power reduction and management methods are now all-pervasive in system-on-chip (SoC) designs. They are used in SoCs targeted at power-critical applications ranging from mobile appliances with limited battery life to big-box electronics that consume large amounts of increasingly expensive power. Power reduction methods are now applied throughout the chip design flow from architectural design, th... » read more
