Abstract -This paper presents a study of different power metrics for varying microarchitectural configurations and proposes an efficient scheme to reduce the energy requirements of superscalar, out-of-order processors. Specifically, we propose the use of multiple supply voltages at microarchitectural level by exploiting the difference in latencies of different pipeline stages or modules. The pr...

The classical theory of electrokinetic phenomena assumes a dilute solution of point-like ions in chemical equilibrium with a surface whose doublelayer voltage is of order the thermal voltage, kBT/e = 25 mV. In nonlinear ‘induced-charge’ electrokinetic phenomena, such as ac electro-osmosis, several volts ≈100kBT/e are applied to the double layer, and the theory breaks down and cannot explain man...

In this paper circuit design of reconfigurable dynamic logic based on double gate CNTFETs focusing on number of states of back gate voltages has been newly described. 16 function 9-10T DRDLC for two Boolean inputs with two states (+V, -V) of back gate voltages has been newly proposed. Using this 9-10T DRDLC the conventional 7T DRDLC with three states (+V, 0, -V) of back bate voltages is success...

This paper presents an adaptive technique to extract the signal of interest (SOI) arriving from a known direction in the presence of strong interferers using a single snapshot of data. The antenna elements in this method can be nonuniformly spaced and there can be mutual coupling between them. In addition, near-field scatterers can also be present. First, the voltages induced in the antenna ele...

We first present a circuit taxonomy along the space and time dimensions, which is useful for classifying generic low-power techniques, followed by an analysis of optimal power supply and threshold voltages and transistor sizing for minimizing the energy-delay product of a class of complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) digital circuits.

In this article experimental data are presented for inorganic gel based smart window fabricated using silica sol-gel process. Parallel beam transmittances were measured as functions of voltages for samples fabricated with different concentrations of nitric acid. Spectroscopic transmittance data at different driving voltages for samples fabricated with different LC concentrations are shown. Tran...
