Based on the observation that an overwhelming majority of the data written to the cache are '0', in this paper we propose a power-aware SRAM cell with one single-bitline write port and one differential-bitlines read port, called SWDR cell, to minimize the cache power consumption in writing '0'. The SWDR cell uses a circuit-level technique, which is software independent and orthogonal to other low power techniques at architecture-level. Compared to the conventional SRAM cell, the experimental results show that without compromise of both performance and stability, the SWDR cell can result in 73%-92% reduction in average cache write power dissipated in bitlines. © 2003 ACM. |
