TL;DR: This work is operating ROM with the highest operating frequency of 4th generation i7 processor to test the compatibility of this design with the latest hardware in use, using Verilog hardware description language, Virtex-6 FPGA, and Xilinx ISE simulator.

AbstractStub Series Terminated Logic (SSTL) is an Input/output standard. It is used to match the impedance of line, port and device of our design under consideration. Therefore, selection of energy efficient SSTL I/O standard among available different class of SSTL logic family in FPGA, plays a vital role to achieve energy efficiency in design under test (DUT). Here, DUT is ROM. ROM is an integral part of processor. Therefore, energy efficient design of RAM is a building block of energy efficient processor. We are using Verilog hardware description language, Virtex-6 FPGA, and Xilinx ISE simulator. We are operating ROM with the highest operating frequency of 4th generation i7 processor to test the compatibility of this design with the latest hardware in use. When there is no demand of peak performance, then we can save 74.5% clock power, 75% signal power, and 30.83% I/O power by operating our device with 1GHz frequency in place of 4GHz. There is no change in clock power and signal power but SSTL2_H_DCI having 80.24% 83.38% 62.92% and 76.52% and 83.03% more I/O power consumption with respect to SSTL2_I, SST18_I, SSTL2_I_DCI, SSTL2_II, and SSTL15 respectively at 3.3GHz.

AbstractStub Series Terminated Logic (SSTL) is an
Input/output standard. It is used to match the impedance of line,
port and device of our design under consideration. Therefore,
selection of energy efficient SSTL I/O standard among available
different class of SSTL logic family in FPGA, plays a vital role to
achieve energy efficiency in design under test (DUT). Here, DUT
is ROM. ROM is an integral part of processor. Therefore, energy
efficient design of RAM is a building block of energy efficient
processor. We are using Verilog hardware description language,
Virtex-6 FPGA, and Xilinx ISE simulator. We are operating
ROM with the highest operating frequency of 4
th
generation i7
processor to test the compatibility of this design with the latest
hardware in use. When there is no demand of peak performance,
then we can save 74.5% clock power, 75% signal power, and
30.83% I/O power by operating our device with 1GHz frequency
in place of 4GHz. There is no change in clock power and signal
power but SSTL2_II_DCI having 80.24%, 83.38%, 62.92%, and
76.52% and 83.03% more I/O power consumption with respect to
SSTL2_I, SST18_I, SSTL2_I_DCI, SSTL2_II, and SSTL15
respectively at 3.3GHz.

I. INTRODUCTION
ROM is read only memory. We cannot write in this in
memory. But, it is an integral part of processor. In order to
design energy efficient processor, it is necessary to design
energy efficient ROM. Although ROM has potential to use in
the software defined radio [9]. But, there is no research in
energy efficient ROM design.
Figure 1: Read Only MEMORY
In order to make energy efficient ROM, we are using SSTL IO
Standard. Here, we are going to use six different SSTL IO
Standards. These are: SSTL2_I, SST18_I, SSTL2_I_DCI,
SSTL2_II, SSTL15 and SSTL2_II_DCI. For each IO
standard, we are going to run our ROM design with 1.0GHz,
2.9GHz, 3.3GHz, 3.6GHz, 3.8GHz and 4.0GHz device
operating frequency. The primary purpose of using SSTL I/O
standard is to avoid transmission line reflection by matching
the impedance of transmission line, device, input port and
output port. The selection of SSTL IO standard play a
significant role in overall power dissipation of our design.
There are multiple variety of SSTL I/O standards available in
FPGA. In this work, we are the finding the most energy
efficient IO standard for our ROM design. Along with that, we
are testing the compatibility of this ROM design with latest i7
Processor, we are operating this ROM with same frequency
supported by i7 processor as shown in Table.1. The five
different series of i7 processor are 4610Y, 4600U, 4600M,
4960HQ and 4790K. In first run, we are operating our design
ROM with 2.9GHz (frequency of 4610Y), 3.3GHz (frequency
of 4600U), 3.6GHz (frequency of 4960HQ) and 4.0 GHz
(frequency of 4790K) as shown in Table 1

4600U 2 3.3GHz
4600M 2 3.6GHz
4960HQ 2 3.8GHz
4790K 4 4.0GHz
SSTL is already in use in energy efficient design of parallel
integrator [2], fire sensor [3], image ALU [4], VCM [5], Clock
gated RAM [6], HSTL based RAM [7]. In this work, we are
extending our work from RAM to ROM and HSTL to SSTL.
Power dissipation in ROM has two components. One is static
and other is dynamic power. Dynamic power is a sum total of
clock power, signal and Input/output power. Total power is a
sum total of dynamic and leakage power [8]. In section 2,
power analysis is done for uniform frequency but with
variation in IO standard. It doesn’t affect the clock power, and

signal power. But, it shows significant effect on I/O power. In
section 3, power analysis is done for variation in frequency
with constant I/O standard shows variation in clock power,
signal power, I/O power and Total power as well. In section 4,
we conclude our project with research finding. In section 5,
we are going to discuss, the future scope of our design and its
real time implementation.

going to run our ROM design with 1.0GHz, 2.9GHz,
3.3GHz, 3.6GHz, 3.8GHz and 4.0GHz device operating

TL;DR: The researchers have used High Speed Transceiver Logic for the purpose of energy efficient counter design on Spartan3 (90nm) FPGA using VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) hardware description language and the Xilinx ISE simulator for the analysis and synthesis of counters.
Abstract: Extending battery life and increase in portability of modern electronic devices and gadgets are the main motives behind the Green Computing which is also known by similar terms like energy efficient design or low power design or green design. Such efficiency is only possible if all the components of processor are also energy efficient. In this work, the researchers tried to analyze the energy optimization possibility in counter design by selection of energy efficient IO standards. The researchers had used High Speed Transceiver Logic for the purpose of energy efficient counter design on Spartan3 (90nm) FPGA (field-programmable gate array) using VHDL (VHSIC Hardware Description Language) hardware description language along with the Xilinx ISE simulator for the analysis and synthesis of counters. Spartan 3 with 90 nm low power is used to achieve substantial power savings. Here, researchers have used five different HSTL IO standards for this work. The standards used are HSTL_I, HSTL_III, HSTL_III_18, HSTL_III_DCI and HSTL_II_18. With these sets of IO standards, Researchers had run their counter design on various device operating frequencies (1.0 GHz to 4.0 GHz). The results clearly indicate that this dynamic frequency (1.0 GHz in lieu of 4.0 GHz) scaling had saved 45% of total power.

In this technique we used following (20 GHz, 40GHz, 60 GHz and 80 GHz ) frequency range. In our work first we have worked with SSTL12 and found that when we scaled down the frequency from 80 GHz to 20 GHz 71.55% reduction in total IO power. In second we have worked with SSTL15 and got 74.02% of reduction in total IO power when we reduced frequency from 80 GHz to 20 GHz. In last we worked with SSTL18_I and SSTL18_II and found 74.29% and 74.28% of reduction in total power respectively, when we scaled down the frequency from 80 GHz to 20 GHz. We have designed our FIFO on 28 nm kintex-7 FPGA family

TL;DR: A novel FPGA based design for power efficient data processing device using SSTL I/O standards is provided and a significant reduction of clock power, logic power and signal power is observed.
Abstract: In this paper, we have designed a power efficient data center using SSTL I/O standards. We have compared the performance of our data processing device through different processors. To increase the performance, Stub-Series Terminated Logic I/O standards are used. 17 distinct functions were performed on DPD that calculated the capability of four distinct processors. At operating frequency of 1.9 GHz of AMD x2150, a significant reduction of clock power, logic power and signal power is observed as 84.47%, 45% and 41.02% respectively. Minimization in DSP power, IO power is 44.4% & 18% respectively when we apply AMD x2150 at 1.9GHz in preference to Intel Xeon E7-8893, operating at 3.4 GHz. By doing the analysis, the best results are obtained while using AMD x2150 at 1.9GHz. This paper provides a novel FPGA based design for power efficient data processing device.

TL;DR: This work is making energy efficient ALU using the most energy efficient LVCMOS IO standard for the highest frequency of i7 processor and making this ALU portable using MOBILE DDR IO standard in place of default LVCmOS33 IO standard which the authors use in traditional ALU.
Abstract: In this work, we are making energy efficient ALU using the most energy efficient LVCMOS IO standard for the highest frequency of i7 processor. It is observed that LVCMOS12 is the most energy efficient than all available LVCMOS having 26.23, 58.37 and 75.65 % less IO power reduction than LVCMOS18, LVCMOS25 and LVCMOS33 respectively at 1 GHz. Then we are making this ALU portable using MOBILE DDR IO standard in place of default LVCMOS33 IO standard which we use in traditional ALU. As we replace LVCMOS with MOBILE DDR, we are achieving 69.07 % portability in terms of IO power and 29.36 % in terms of Leakage power at 2.9 GHz. In next stage, we try to enhance the performance of ALU with MOBILE DDR but not beyond the power consumption with LVCMOS. In that way, we achieve the highest frequency of 12 GHz with MOBILE DDR. That was earlier possible for 3.8 GHz 64-bit ALU using CMOS. In this HDL based implementation of 64-bit ALU on FPGA, Kintex-7 FPGA is used with XC7K70T device and FBG676 package is used.

TL;DR: This paper describes a method that uses simultaneous dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) and adaptive body biasing (ABB) to reduce the total power consumption of a processor under dynamic computational workloads.
Abstract: There is a growing need to analyze and optimize the stand-by component of power in digital circuits designed for portable and battery-powered applications. Since these circuits remain in stand-by (or sleep) mode significantly longer than in active mode, their stand-by current, and not their active switching current, determines their battery life. Hence, stringent specifications are being placed on the stand-by (or leakage) current drawn by such devices. As the power supply voltage is reduced, the threshold voltage of transistors is scaled down to maintain a constant switching speed. Since reducing the threshold voltage increases the leakage of a device exponentially, leakage current has become a dominant factor in the design of VLSI circuits. In this paper, we describe a method that uses simultaneous dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) and adaptive body biasing (ABB) to reduce the total power consumption of a processor under dynamic computational workloads. Analytical models of the leakage current, dynamic power, and frequency as a function of supply voltage and body bias are derived and verified with SPICE simulation. Given these models, we show how to derive an analytical expression for the optimal trade-off between supply voltage and body bias, given a required clock frequency and duration of operation. The proposed method is then applied to a processor and is compared with DVS alone for workloads obtained using real-time monitoring of processor utilization for four typical applications.

TL;DR: In this article, a green image ALU is designed in Xilinx ISE 14.6 using different IO standard of SSTL in 40nm Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 FPGA.
Abstract: In this paper, green Image ALU is designed in Xilinx ISE 14.6 using different IO standard of SSTL in 40nm Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 FPGA. We are comparing different SSTL IO standard to get reduction in IO power. We accomplish energy efficiency with respect to low voltage impedance, by using SSTL technology. In this entire work, we are using different classes of SSTL and observe that when image ALU operates at 1THz device operating frequency with SSTL18_I_DCI I/O Standard using virtex-6 FPGA, there is 45.55% decrease in IO power and 20.50% in Clock power as compared to SSTL18_II IO Standard. Similarly when we operate Image ALU at 1THz using Spartan-6, there is 33.31% reduction in IO power of SSTL18_I with respect to SSTL18_II Standard. There are 16 different arithmetic and logic operations in Image ALU. The Clock power, Logic power and Signal power of Image ALU remains same using Spartan-6 I/O Standard.

TL;DR: This work has used Verilog as HDL and Xilinx ISE 14.6 as simulator to design the voltage based efficient fire sensor and has used four different kinds of Stub Series Terminated Logic (SSTL)IO standards.
Abstract: In this paper an approach is made to design the voltage based efficient fire sensor and for that reason we have used four different kinds of Stub Series Terminated Logic (SSTL)IO standards. Airflow and heat sink are main parameters while analyzing the thermal dissipation in the circuit. In this work we have taken two values for LFM i.e. 250, 500 and three profiles for heat sink are taken, these are low profile, medium profile and high profile. When the voltage sensor is operating at 1THz and LFM is 250 with low profile heat sink, junction temperature of SSTL135_DCI is reduced up to 5.12% 6.03% and 20.77% as compared to SSTL12, SSTL12_DCI and SSTL135_R respectively. Under same operating frequency and heat sink profile with LFM as 500, we are achieving 3.69%, 5.22% and 17.99% less junction power reduction in SSTL135_DCI with respect to SSTL12, SSTL12_DCI and S S TL135_Rrespectively. This design is implemented on Kintex-7 FPGA, XC7K70T device and −3 speed grades. In this work we have used Verilog as HDL and Xilinx ISE 14.6 as simulator.

TL;DR: To achieve reduction in IOs power, this work is searching the most energy efficient LVCMOS(Low Voltage Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) IO standard, whose power consumption is less in compare to other IO standard.
Abstract: In this work, target design is ALU. To achieve reduction in IOs power we are searching the most energy efficient LVCMOS(Low Voltage Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) IO standard, whose power consumption is less in compare to other IO standard. There is 85.18% power reduction when we migrate from LVCMOS33 based ALU design to LVCMOS12 based ALU design. There is 41.45% power reduction when we migrate from LVCMOS33 based ALU design to LVCMOS25 based ALU design. Target FPGA family is 28nm Artix-7. Verilog is hardware description language used for design of ALU. There is 7.16% reduction in power for only LVCMOS15, when we change drive strength from 16 milliAmpere to 8 milli-Ampere. There is 5.44% reduction in power for LVCMOS18 when we change drive strength from 24 milliAmpere to 8 milli-Ampere. LVCMOS33 is the highest power consumer and LVCMOS12 is the lowest power consumer among the different available LVCMOS IO standard when there is common drive strength applied.
