Low-power high-throughput streaming computations

摘要

A method for optimizing voltage and frequency for pipelined architectures that offers better power efficiency. The invention provides methods for low-power high-throughput hardware implementations to stream computations by partitioning a computation into temporally distinct stages, assigning a clock frequency to each stage such that an overall computational throughput is met and assigning to each stage a supply voltage according to its respective clock frequency and circuit parameters.
