      Voltage scaling to values near the threshold voltage is a promising technique to hold off the many-core power wall. However, as voltage decreases, some SRAM cells are unable to operate reliably and show a behavior consistent ...

      Power density has become the limiting factor in technology scaling as power budget restricts the amount of hardware that can be active at the same time. Reducing supply voltage to ultra-low voltage ranges close to the ...
    • Concertina: Squeezing in cache content to operate at near-threshold voltage 

      Ferrerón, Alexandra; Suárez Gracia, Darío; Alastruey, Jesús; Monreal Arnal, Teresa; Ibáñez, Pablo (2016-03-01)
      Article

      Scaling supply voltage to values near the threshold voltage allows a dramatic decrease in the power consumption of processors; however, the lower the voltage, the higher the sensitivity to process variation, and, hence, ...

      La eficiencia energética de las caches en chip puede mejorarse reduciendo su voltaje de alimentación (Vdd ). Sin embargo, este escalado de Vdd está limitado a una tensión Vddmin por debajo de la cual algunas celdas SRAM ...
    • Microarchitectural support for speculative register renaming

      This paper proposes and evaluates a new microarchitecture for out-of-order processors that supports speculative renaming. We call speculative renaming to the speculative omission of physical register allocation along with ...
    • Selección del tamaño del banco de registros y de la política de asignación de recursos en procesadores SMT
