Abstract :
This paper demonstrates techniques to optimize power consumption of memory intensive applications. A design example-a video, vector quantizer encoder-demonstrates how optimization at the algorithm, architecture and circuit level can reduce power consumption by reducing both the effective switched capacitance and the required speed of the system´s memory
