The mobile computing device market is projected to grow to 16.8 million units in 2004, representing an average annual growth rate of 28% over the five year forecast period [5]. This brings the technologies that optimize system energy to the forefront. As circuits continue to scale in future, it would be important to optimize both leakage and dynamic energy. Effective optimization of leakage and dynamic energy consumption requires a vertical integration of techniques spanning from circuit to software levels.
