Overview

This text begins with a description of the metrics and benchmarks used to design energy-efficient microprocessor systems, which is followed by energy efficient methodologies for the architecture and circuit design, DC-DC conversion, energy efficient software and system integration. Detailed design of the critical circuits and their performance is included throughout. ""Energy Efficient Microprocessor Design"" should be of interest to circuit designers as well as researchers in computer architecture and signal processing.
