A Low Power SRAM Architecture Based on Segmented Virtual Grounding 一种基于分段虚拟接地的低功耗SRAM结构
M. Sharifkhani, M. Sachdev
A novel architecture for the reduction of both dynamic and static power consumption of static random access memories (SRAM) is presented. The scheme is based on the segmented virtual grounding (SVGND) of the SRAM cells. Substantial leakage reduction is achieved by increasing the threshold voltage of the cell transistors through body effect. The write and read energy consumptions are reduced significantly by decreasing the bitline voltage swing and the number of bitlines affected in each transaction. Unlike recently reported low-power schemes, SVGND allows multiple words to be placed in each row while keeping the dynamic power low. This feature is achieved by introducing an additional operation mode to the SRAM cells. The architecture is implemented in a 130nm CMOS technology. Using this scheme, the read and write array energy consumption can be saved by 44% and 84% respectively. Measurement results portraits 15 times leakage reduction compared to the conventional scheme
提出了一种降低静态随机存取存储器(SRAM)动态和静态功耗的新架构。该方案基于SRAM单元的分段虚拟接地(SVGND)。通过体效应提高电池晶体管的阈值电压,实现了大幅度的漏电减少。通过减少位线电压波动和每个事务中受影响的位线数量,可以显著降低写入和读取能耗。与最近报道的低功耗方案不同,SVGND允许在每行中放置多个单词,同时保持低动态功耗。此功能是通过向SRAM单元引入额外的操作模式来实现的。该架构采用130nm CMOS技术实现。采用该方案,读写阵列能耗可分别节省44%和84%。测量结果显示,与传统方案相比,泄漏减少了15倍

Power-Conscious Configuration Cache Structure and Code Mapping for Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architecture 基于功耗意识的配置缓存结构和粗粒度可重构架构的代码映射
Yoonjin Kim, Ilhyun Park, Kiyoung Choi, Y. Paek
Coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture aims to achieve both performance and flexibility. However, power consumption is no less important for the reconfigurable architecture to be used as a competitive processing core in embedded systems. In this paper, we show how power is consumed in a typical coarse-grained reconfigurable architecture. Based on the power breakdown data, we suggest a power-conscious configuration cache structure and code mapping technique, which reduce power consumption without performance degradation. Experimental results show that the proposed approach saves much power even with reduced configuration cache size

An Efficient Chip-level Time Slack Allocation Algorithm for Dual-Vdd FPGA Power Reduction 一种高效的双vdd FPGA时延分配算法
Yan Lin, Yu Hu, Lei He, Vijay Raghunat
To reduce FPGA power, a linear programming (LP) based time slack allocation algorithm, EdTLC-LP, has been proposed recently for Vdd-programmable interconnects without using Vdd-level converters for mixed wire lengths. However, it takes a long time to solve the LP problem for time slack allocation. In this paper, we develop EdTLC-NW, a slack allocation algorithm based on min-cost network flow to reduce runtime. Compared to single Vdd FPGA with power-gating, EdTLC-LP and EdTLC-NW reduce interconnect power by 52.71% and 52.52%, respectively. EdTLC-NW achieves as good results as EdTLC-LP but runs 8times faster on average. Furthermore, the speedup increases for larger circuits and EdTLC-NW is 20times faster for the largest circuit

Jose Rizo-Morente, M. Casas-Sanchez, C. Bleakley
Estimation of processor current consumption is important for the design of low power systems. This paper proposes a novel method for estimating the dynamic current consumption of a processor. The method models dynamic current as the output of a linear system excited by a signal comprised of the total current due to each instruction. System identification is performed by cross-correlation of a pseudo-random stimulus with the measured current. The method was applied to the Texas Instruments TMS320VC5510 DSP and was found to provide an average correlation of 93% between estimated and measured dynamic current across a range of benchmarks

A Two-Port SRAM for Real-Time Video Processor Saving 53% of Bitline Power with Majority Logic and Data-Bit Reordering 基于多数逻辑和数据位重排序的实时视频处理器双端口SRAM节省53%的位线功耗
H. Fujiwara, K. Nii, J. Miyakoshi, Y. Murachi, Y. Morita, H. Kawaguchi, M. Yoshimoto
We propose a low-power two-port SRAM suitable for real-time video processing. In order to minimize discharge power on a read bitline, a majority-logic decides if input data are inverted in a write cycle, so that "1"s are in the majority. In video data, since more significant bits of adjacent pixel data are fortunately lopsided to either "0" or "1" with higher probability, the data bits in the pixels are reordered in each digit group to exploit the majority logic. The speed and area overheads are 4% and 11% in a 90-nm process technology, respectively. The proposed SRAM achieves 53% power reduction on the bitlines, and saves 43% of a total power when considered as an H.264 reconstructed-image memory
我们提出了一种适合实时视频处理的低功耗双端口SRAM。为了最小化读位线上的放电功率,多数逻辑决定输入数据是否在写周期中反转,以便“1”占多数。在视频数据中,由于相邻像素数据中更重要的位幸运地以更高的概率向“0”或“1”倾斜,因此像素中的数据位在每个数字组中被重新排序以利用多数逻辑。在90纳米制程技术中,速度和面积开销分别为4%和11%。所提出的SRAM在位线上的功耗降低了53%,在作为H.264重构图像存储器时节省了43%的总功耗

Adaptive Duty Cycling for Energy Harvesting Systems 能量收集系统的自适应占空循环
Jason Hsu, S. Zahedi, A. Kansal, M. Srivastava, V. Raghunathan
Harvesting energy from the environment is feasible in many applications to ameliorate the energy limitations in sensor networks. In this paper, we present an adaptive duty cycling algorithm that allows energy harvesting sensor nodes to autonomously adjust their duty cycle according to the energy availability in the environment. The algorithm has three objectives, namely: (a) achieving energy neutral operation, i.e., energy consumption should not be more than the energy provided by the environment; (b) maximizing the system performance based on an application utility model subject to the above energy-neutrality constraint; and (c) adapting to the dynamics of the energy source at run-time. We present a model that enables harvesting sensor nodes to predict future energy opportunities based on historical data. We also derive an upper bound on the maximum achievable performance assuming perfect knowledge about the future behavior of the energy source. Our methods are evaluated using data gathered from a prototype solar energy harvesting platform and we show that our algorithm can utilize up to 58% more environmental energy compared to the case when harvesting-aware power management is not used

Input-specific Dynamic Power Optimization for VLSI Circuits VLSI电路输入特定动态功率优化
Fei Hu, V. Agrawal
Literature proposes linear programming (LP) methods for glitch-less design of digital circuits. Considering the worst-case these methods ensure absence of glitches for any arbitrary state of primary input as well as internal signals. In this paper, we examine an unexplored aspect, i.e., glitch-free design with respect to a specific set of vectors (patterns). Introducing the logic-level concepts of glitch-generation patterns and glitch-generation probability, which are analyzable through logic simulation, we remove glitch filtering requirements from gates on which the given set of input vectors cannot produce glitches. We relax constraints of any existing LP either selectively or probabilistically. Such input-specific design from an LP model without process variation and another with process variation reduced the number of delay buffer overhead by up to 80% and 63%, respectively, while maintaining the power reduction and overall delay

High-Speed Low-Power Frequency Divider with Intrinsic Phase Rotator 带本征相位旋转器的高速低功率分频器
S. Henzler, S. Koeppe
A CMOS divider concept without static power consumption, except leakage power, is proposed. The circuit divides an input signal by two and generates four phases with highly accurate phase skew of 90 degrees. In a 90nm low-power CMOS technology, the maximum operation frequency is 11.6 GHz for a supply voltage of 1.5V slow process and worst case operation parameters. Higher frequencies can be achieved by a hybrid approach where the signal is first divided by a factor of two in a single CML stage and then by the proposed circuit by another factor of two for the generation of the four phases. The divider is applied to dual modulus pre-scalers and IQ receivers. A variant of the circuit contains an intrinsic phase-rotator, so the power consumption of the pre-scaler is not only reduced due to the logic style but also by a simplified architecture of the overall pre-scaler

An Optimal Analytical Solution for Processor Speed Control with Thermal Constraints 热约束下处理器速度控制的最优解析解
Ravishankar Rao, S. Vrudhula, C. Chakrabarti, N. Chang
As semiconductor manufacturing technology scales to smaller device sizes, the power consumption of clocked digital ICs begins to increase. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a well-known technique for conserving energy. Recently, it has also been used to control the CPU temperature as part of dynamic thermal management (DTM) techniques. Most works in these areas assume that the optimum speed profile (for either minimizing energy or maximizing performance) is a constant profile. However, in the presence of thermal constraints, we show that the optimal profile is in general, a time-varying function. We formulate the problem of maximizing the average throughput of a processor over a given time period, subject to thermal and speed constraints, as a problem in the calculus of variations. The variational approach provides a powerful framework for precisely specifying and solving the speed control problem, and allows us to obtain an exact analytical solution. The solution methodology is very general, and works for any convex power model, and simple lumped RC thermal models. The resulting speed profiles were found to consist of up to three segments, of which one of them is a decreasing function of time, and the others are constant. We analyze the effect of different parameters like the initial temperature, thermal capacitance and the maximum rated speed on the nature and the cost of the optimum solution.

随着半导体制造技术向更小的器件尺寸扩展,时钟数字集成电路的功耗开始增加。动态电压频率标度(DVFS)是一种众所周知的节能技术。最近,它也被用于控制CPU温度作为动态热管理(DTM)技术的一部分。这些领域的大多数工作都假设最佳速度轮廓(对于最小化能量或最大化性能)是恒定的轮廓。然而,在存在热约束的情况下,我们表明最优剖面通常是一个时变函数。我们将在给定时间内,受热和速度限制,使处理器的平均吞吐量最大化的问题表述为变分法中的一个问题。变分方法为精确指定和求解速度控制问题提供了一个强有力的框架,并使我们能够获得精确的解析解。求解方法非常通用,适用于任何凸幂模型和简单的集总RC热模型。结果发现,所得的速度曲线最多由三个部分组成,其中一个是时间的递减函数,而其他部分是恒定的。分析了初始温度、热容和最大额定转速等参数对最优解性质和成本的影响。我们还提出了一个近似于最优速度曲线的双速解决方案。该解决方案的性能接近于最佳性能,并且在实际处理器中更容易实现

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a well-known technique for conserving energy. Recently, it has also been used to control the CPU temperature as part of dynamic thermal management (DTM) techniques. Most works in these areas assume that the optimum speed profile (for either minimizing energy or maximizing performance) is a constant profile. However, in the presence of thermal constraints, we show that the optimal profile is in general, a time-varying function. We formulate the problem of maximizing the average throughput of a processor over a given time period, subject to thermal and speed constraints, as a problem in the calculus of variations. The variational approach provides a powerful framework for precisely specifying and solving the speed control problem, and allows us to obtain an exact analytical solution. The solution methodology is very general, and works for any convex power model, and simple lumped RC thermal models. The resulting speed profiles were found to consist of up to three segments, of which one of them is a decreasing function of time, and the others are constant. We analyze the effect of different parameters like the initial temperature, thermal capacitance and the maximum rated speed on the nature and the cost of the optimum solution. We also propose a two-speed solution that approximates the optimal speed curve. This solution was found to achieve a performance close to that of the optimum, and is also easier to implement in real processors","PeriodicalId":119229,"journal":{"name":"ISLPED'06 Proceedings of the 2006 International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127122396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
