Abstract

High-speed power gating (PG) techniques are useful for reducing leakage power of functional units in a CPU core. This paper analyzes trade off of functional units in a MIPS R3000 based processor with three fine-grained PG methods: the cell-based, row-based and ring-based. Compared with the cell-based PG technique, which was used in our previous work - Geyser-1 processor, the row-based and ring-based PG technique achieved much smaller area and less implemental cost with a certain additional delay to wake-up latency. The simulation results with benchmark programs show that all three methods can reduce leakage power by 28∼54% at 25C.
