Title
Power reduction by simultaneous voltage scaling and gate sizing
Abstract
This paper proposes to use voltage-scaling (VS) and gate-sizing (GS) simultaneously for reducing power consumption without violating the timing constraints. We present algorithms for simultaneous VS and GS based on the Maximum-Weighted-Independent-Set problem. We describe the clock distribution of the circuit, completeness of gate library and discreteness of supply voltage, and discuss their effects on power optimization. Experimental results show that the average power reduction ranges from 23.3% to 56.9% over all tested circuits.
