A 45nm 37.3GOPS/W heterogeneous multi-core SoC

Abstract

A 648 MHz 153.8 mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> 45 nm CMOS SoC integrates eight general-purpose CPUs, four dynamically reconfigurable processors, two 1024-way matrix-processors, peripherals and interfaces. Using core enhancement, DDR3-I/F improvement and clock buffer deactivation, this SoC achieves 37.3 GOPS/W at 1.15 V.
