System-Level Design Methods for Low-Energy Architectures Containing Variable Voltage Processors
This paper focuses on system-level design methods for low energy consumption in architectures employing variable-voltage processors. Two lowenergy design flows are introduced. The first, Speed-up and Stretch, is based on the performance vs. low-energy design trade-off. The second, Eye-on-Energy, is based on energy sensitive scheduling and assignment techniques. Both of the approaches presented in
