Modern processors are using increasingly larger sized on-chip caches. Also, with each
CMOS technology generation, there has been a significant increase in their leakage energy …

On-chip caches represent a sizable fraction of the total power consumption of
microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have …

Over the years, the fundamentals of VLSI technology have evolved to include a wide range
of topics and a broad range of practices. To encompass such a vast amount of knowledge …

This report introduces HotLeakage, an architectural model for subthreshold and gate
leakage that we have developed here at the University of Virginia. The most important …

On-chip caches represent a sizable fraction of the total power consumption of
microprocessors. As feature sizes shrink, the dominant component of this power …

Lower threshold voltages in deep submicron technologies cause more leakage current,
increasing static power dissipation. This trend, combined with the trend of larger/more cache …

On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of
microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have …

In high performance Systems-on-Chip, leakage power consumption has become
comparable to the dynamic component, and its relevance increases as technology scales …

Tunnel-leakage currents become the dominant form of leakage as MOS technology
advances. An electric-field-relaxation scheme that suppresses these currents is described …

In sub-100-nm generation, gate-tunneling leakage current increases and dominates the total
standby leakage current of LSIs based on decreasing gate-oxide thickness. Showing that …
