A Power Model for Register-Sharing Structures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Register files (RF) are known to consume about 20% of the power inside a processor. Embedded systems, due to area and timing constraints, generally have small register files, which can cause significant register pressure. This work explores how having a map-table or a map-vector can decrease the power dissipation in the processor. The distribution of register writes and sharing of commonly occurring values such as ‘0’ is investigated. It is shown that systems with small register files obtain a greater power reduction than larger register files when these sharing structures are used. Finally, the proposed power model comes within 95% accuracy when compared using benchmarks on a synthesized Verilog softcore processor.

Bit Swapping Linear Feedback Shift Register For Low Power Application Using 130nm Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Technology (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Bit swapping linear feedback shift register (BS-LFSR) is employed in a conventional linear feedback shirt register (LFSR) to reduce its power dissipation and enhance its performance. In this paper, an enhanced BS-LFSR for low power application is proposed. To achieve low power dissipation, the proposed BS-LFSR introduced the stacking technique to reduce leakage current. In addition, three diffe...
متن کاملCoordination and profit sharing in a two-level supply chain under periodic review inventory policy with delay in payments contract
In this paper,a coordination model has been investigated for a two-level supply chain (SC) consisting of one retailer and one supplier under periodic review inventory system. The review period and the retailer’s safety factorare assumed to be decision variables. The retailer faces stochastic demand following a normal distribution with known mean and variance. Moreover, it is assumed that unmet ...

In microarchitectural design, conceptual simplicity does not always lead to reduced technological complexity. VLSI design offers several standard structures which get very inefficient when they are scaled up. For instance, the superscalar OOO processing model is conceptually simple – with the controlflow oriented front-end and the dataflow oriented backend – but simply scaling the structures in...

As knowledge is power, information is power in supply chains. It (information) provides the decision maker the power to get ahead of the competition, the power to run a business smoothly and efficiently, and the power to succeed in an ever more complex environment. Information plays a key role in the management of the supply chain. but how the different combination of information sharing based ...
