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","PeriodicalId":119229,"journal":{"name":"ISLPED'06 Proceedings of the 2006 International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design","volume":"53 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":"123125967","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}

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","PeriodicalId":119229,"journal":{"name":"ISLPED'06 Proceedings of the 2006 International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design","volume":"6 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":"126553216","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}

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

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}
