Saving power in the control path of embedded processors
Ching-Long Su, Chi-Ying Tsui, Alvin M. Despain · IEEE Design & Test of Computers · 1994
CMOS circuits consume power during the charging and discharging of capacitances. Reducing switching activity then, saves power in embedded processors. The authors' two-pronged attack uses Gray code addressing and cold scheduling to eliminate bit switches.>
