We demonstrate that conventional checkpointing becomes unattractive in terms of resource and power requirements for future generation processors. We propose out-of-order checkpoint release and checkpoint prediction, two alternatives that require significantly less resources and power while maintaining high-performance. We demonstrate their utility at the register alias table (RAT). Our methods reduce the number of RAT checkpoints to 1/3 (from 48 down to 16) for an aggressive, 8-way superscalar processor with a 256-entry instruction window. Using a 0.18 /spl mu/m process model we estimate that RAT power is reduced by 24%.","PeriodicalId":355883,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2003 International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design, 2003.

Simulations show that the 3-5/spl times/ increase in I/sub OFF///spl mu/m per generation is offsetting the savings in switching energy obtained from technology scaling. We compare both the transistor I/sub OFF/ reduction and I/sub ON/ degradation due to each technique for the 130 nm-70 nm technologies. Our results indicate that the effectiveness of leakage control techniques and the associated energy vs. delay tradeoffs depend on the ratio of switching to leakage energies for a given technology. We use our findings to design a 70 nm low power word line driver scheme for a 256 entry, 64-bit register file (R-F). As a result, the leakage (total) energy of the word line drivers is reduced by 3/spl times/ (2.5/spl times/) and for the RF by up to 35% (25%) respectively.","PeriodicalId":355883,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2003 International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design, 2003.

This instrument enables validation of battery-aware power-optimization techniques with accurate, controllable, reproducible results. This instrument also supports training mode with actual batteries, and it can even be used for recording and playback of a solar power source.

A new technique called 'Slew Boost' is introduced to improve amplifier's large-signal settling behavior, most useful in switched-capacitor circuits such as pipelined ADCs, sigma delta modulators, etc. The proposed op-amp has been designed to be employed in the first stage of a 10 bit 150 MSamples/sec pipelined analog-to-digital converter. Simulation results of the proposed fully-differential class-AB op-amp, using 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS process models, confirm that it has an output swing of 1.5 Vp-p and consumes less than I mW from a single supply of I volt.","PeriodicalId":355883,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2003 International Symposium on Low Power Electronics and Design, 2003.
