Abstract :
In this paper, we present several design and simulation innovations that resulted in significant improvements in the notebook energy efficiency. At the component level, we show innovations in the 45 nm technology & processor simulation and design methodologies. At the platform level, we did several measurements to understand where the energy is spent and proposed architectural improvements to several subsystems with special emphasis on the power delivery subsystem.
