Semiconductor circuit device having hierarchical power supply structure

TL;DR: In this paper, offset differential amplifiers are used to control transistors connected to a sub power supply line and a sub ground line to prevent an operation delay in an initial stage of a standby state while keeping an effect of reducing a sub threshold leakage current in a semiconductor circuit device having a hierarchical power supply structure.

System and method for providing a fault-resilient boot

TL;DR: In this article, a preboot image is configured to cause the computer system to detect a status indication associated with a previous boot attempt, and, in response to the status indication indicating a local boot attempt state, to retrieve a first boot image from a second remote location and to boot the computer operating system using the first boot images.
