Microprocessors use static random-access memory (SRAM) cells in the cache memory
design. As a part of the central computing component, their performance is critical. Modern …

Off-state leakage is static power, current that leaks through transistors even when they are
turned off. The other source of power dissipation in today's microprocessors, dynamic power …

In the last few years, power dissipation has become an important design constraint, on par
with performance, in the design of new computer systems. Whereas in the past, the primary …

Execution time is no longer the only metric by which computational systems are judged. In
fact, explicitly sacrificing raw performance in exchange for energy savings is becoming a …

This book provides a guide to Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) bitcell design and
