Closing the Power Gap between ASIC & Custom: Tools and Techniques for Low Power Design
Closing the Power Gap between ASIC Custom Tools and Techniques for Low Power Design Author:David Chinnery, Kurt Keutzer This book carefully details design tools and techniques for realizing low power and energy efficiency in a highly productive design methodology. Important topics include: — - Microarchitectural techniques to reduce energy per operation — - Power reduction with timing slack from pipelining — - Analysis of the benefits of using multiple ... more »supply and threshold voltages
- Placement techniques for multiple supply voltages
- Verification for multiple voltage domains
- Improved algorithms for gate sizing, and assignment of supply and threshold voltages
- Power gating design automation to reduce leakage
- Relationships among tatistical timing, power analysis, and parametric yield optimization Design examples illustrate that these techniques can improve energy efficiency by two to three times.« less
