Guarded Evaluation: An Algorithm for Dynamic Power Reduction in FPGAs

Guarded evaluation is a power reduction technique that involves identifying sub-circuits (within a larger circuit) whose inputs can be held constant (guarded) at specific times during circuit operation, thereby reducing switching activity and lowering dynamic power. The concept is rooted in the pro...
