- Oct 22, 2026 Voltage and Frequency Domains: Why DVFS Is Not One Knob How a frequency change requires a voltage change, why level shifters and synchronisers appear at domain boundaries, and what latency an operating-point transition really costs. computer architecture
- Jun 20, 2026 Energy-Optimal Operating Points and the Shape of DVFS Why the lowest voltage a circuit can run at is not the most efficient one, how frequency and voltage must move together, and where the energy minimum sits for a real workload. hardware engineering
- Oct 30, 2025 Leakage Power and the Electrothermal Feedback Loop Why subthreshold and gate leakage rise exponentially with temperature, how that turns the power budget into a positive feedback loop, and where the loop stabilises or runs away. hardware engineering
- Sep 18, 2024 Voltage and Frequency Scaling with a Performance Constraint Why lowering frequency alone rarely saves what it appears to, how voltage follows frequency, and where the quadratic voltage term stops paying for itself. embedded systems
