Memory Power Management for Java Processors Using Heap Partitioning and Power Gating. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Power consumption is an important design parameter for battery operated devices, and an especially sensitive issue in embedded Java systems. This paper presents a solution to reduce leakage power consumption of the heap memory characteristic of Java processors. By partitioning the heap into several memory banks and taking advantage of a compacting garbage collector, our method dynamically powers off inactive regions. The technique has been designed and evaluated for JOP, a Java Optimized Processor [14], and further implemented and verified in a 65nm CMOS technology using STM low-power high Vt (LPHVT) [16] standard cell libraries. Experiments show that our method accurately follows the memory utilization profile in powering on and off banks, achieving at least 50% leakage power reduction. The performance, area and power penalty introduced by the additional hardware are negligible. |
