On the Rules of Low Power Design (and Why You Should Break Them)

[@krish2nasa]

Fantastic talk! many thanks to Prof. Todd Austin

[@prasoonujjain]

Great explaination of a complex topic

[@leixun]

*My takeaways:* 1. His story at Intel 3:03: power is performance 2. Energy-efficient design fundamentals 6:15: dynamic and static power consumption - How voltage is set 10:02: threshold voltage, critical voltage, process margin, ambient margin, noise margin 3. How to break rules of low power design part 1 14:00: reduce the above margins - Over-clocking 14:55, problem: generate extra heat - lower the voltage 17:31, problem: cause computation errors - Razor resilient circuit [MICRO'03] 23:40 4. Rule-breaking approach to technical research 35:55 5. How to break rules of low power design part 2 38:20: sub-threshold voltage - Suitable for low power sensors, MCUs, etc. - Low power design rules at sub-threshold voltage domain 46:37 6. More thoughts on research 54:26
