THURSDAY, June 16, 2005, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM | Room: 210AB
TOPIC AREA:  POWER (methods)

   SESSION 43
  Power Estimation and Design Tradeoffs
  Chair: Kimiyoshi Usami - Shibaura Institute of Technology, Saitama, Japan
  Organizers: Jerry Frenkil, Amitava Majumdar

  This session contains papers that address low power design at several levels. The first paper describes a novel and fast power estimation using hardware emulation. The second paper explores tradeoffs in power and performance in configurable processors. Power control in a network processor using clock gating is decribed in the third paper. The fourth paper presents a technique that overcomes delay variation by bulk voltage control.
