Energy-Aware System Design

Algorithms and Architectures

Edited by Chong-Min Kyung, Sungjoo Yoo ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
Power consumption becomes the most important design goal in a wide range of electronic systems. There are two driving forces towards this trend: continuing device scaling and ever increasing demand of higher computing power. First, device scaling continues to satisfy Moore’s law via a conventional way of scaling (More Moore) and a new way of exploiting the vertical integration (More than Moore). ... Read more
