Reducing Instruction Cache Energy Using Gated
The power dissipated by the level-1 Instruction cache is often a considerable part of the total power dissipated by the entire microprocessor. In this thesis, we focuses on reducing the power consumption of the I-cache by using an in-cache instruction compression technique that uses gated wordlines to reduce the number of bitline swings. First, we develop a cache power consumption model to esti...
متن کاملReducing Energy Consumption using a Non-Volatile storage cache
We can outperform the most powerful disk spin-down algorithm available by using a small non-volatile storage write-only cache to temporarily store hard disk write requests while a disk is spun-down. In our experiments, we use a USB thumb drive device as our non-volatile storage cache. By redirecting writes to a flash memory while a disk is spun-down we avoid costly hard disk cycle start-stop op...
متن کاملReducing Register File Energy Consumption using Compiler Support
Most power reduction techniques have focused on gating the clock to unused functional units to minimize static power consumption, while system level optimizations have been used to deal with dynamic power consumption. After these techniques are applied, register file power consumption becomes a dominant factor in the energy consumption. This paper proposes a power-aware reconfiguration mechanis...
متن کاملUsing a serial cache for energy efficient instruction fetching
Computer Science Department, University of California, Los Angeles Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University of California, San Diego Abstract The design of a high performance fetch architecture can be challenging due to poor interconnect scaling and energy concerns. Way prediction has been presented as one means of scaling the fetch engine to shorter cycle times, while providi...
متن کاملA Game Theory Based Strategy for Reducing Energy Consumption in Cognitive WSN
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are one of the most important users of wireless communication technologies in the coming years and some challenges in this areamust be addressed for their complete development. Energy consumption and spectrum availability are two of the most severe constraints of WSNs due to their intrinsic nature. The introduction of cognitive capabilities into these networks ha...
