Abstract

This Letter presents a fine-grained hardware switching scheme to choose from the proper hardware for low power computing. It exploits the word-length optimisation opportunities for multiplication unit. With the proposed technique, the gate-level simulation result on OpenRISC shows 23.7% power reduction for the multiplication unit, which accounts for 9.5% power reduction for its execution unit.
