摘要: The dual-VDD technique has already been employed in reconfigurable processors to improve energy efficiency. In this brief, a variable method is proposed reduce power consumption further through varying the level of lower VDD (VDDL) according application on processor. It finds out optimum VDDL mainly based utilization times all arithmetic logic unit operations by application. estimation, analysis technology and architecture highly required as well. Static timing were performed RPU, processor designed 65-nm CMOS technology. estimated that can its array 32% average for applications GPS, MPEG2, H.264, audio video coding standard (AVS). If fixed at 0.6-0.75 V, reduction rate will be 15% less average. area penalty than 3%.
