Abstract

Ubiquitous computing has become a very popular paradigm. The most suitable technological solution for those systems consists of using hybrid processors able to operate at high voltage to provide high performance and at near-/sub-threshold voltage to provide ultra-low energy consumption. This paper studies different non-hybrid and hybrid SRAM L1 cache designs using several SRAM cell types and compare them in terms of delay, dynamic energy, leakage power and area.
