Optimizing Power Heterogeneous Functional Units for Dynamic and Static Power Reduction

Power consumption is the major constraint for modern microprocessor designs. In particular, static power consumption becomes a serious problem as the transistor size shrinks via semiconductor technology improvement. This paper proposes a technique that reduces the static power consumed by functional...
