Abstract
The explosive proliferation of portable electronic devices has compelled energy-efficient VLSI and system design to provide longer battery run-times, and more powerful products that require ever-increasing computational complexity. In addition, the demand for low-cost and small form-factor devices has kept the available energy supply roughly constant by driving down battery size, despite advances in battery technology which have increased battery energy density. Thus, energy-efficient design must continuously provide more performance per watt.
