CANbus
• Automotive. Introduced by BOSCH, 1983
• One of OBD-II protocols
• differential, 2 wires, 1MBps important things like engine
control
• single wire, slower cheaper, hvac, radio, airbags

CANbus Protocol
• id, length code, up to 8 bytes of data id (usually 11 or
29 bits) type and who is sending it. Also priority (lower
is higher) length is 4 bits. some always send 8 and pad
with zeros
• Type is inferred from id. Can be things like engine RPM,
etc
• DBC database has the ids and values. ASCII text
database, hard to get legally.

• Replace 16-bit 8.33MHz parallel bus with 4-bit wide
33.3MHz bus. Only 7 wires. Easier to route than 72

PCI protocol
• 256B Config space, mapped into CPU address. Small
area system can probe, used to setup larger mappings
• Can have on-board ROM that can be executed. Problem
when using on non-x86 systems (emulators needed?
special [expensive] PowerPC versions?)
• Latency timers keep bus-master from hogging bus
• 4 interrupt lines, can be shared. Level rather than
edge-triggered interrupts make sharing easier

Measuring Power and Energy
• Sense resistor or Hall Effect sensor gives you the current
• Sense resistor is small resistor. Measure voltage drop.
Current V=IR Ohm’s Law, so V/R=I
• Voltage drops are often small (why?) so you made need
to amplify with instrumentation amplifier
• Then you need to measure with A/D converter
• P = IV and you know the voltage

People often say Power when they mean Energy
• Dynamic Power – only consumed while computing
• Static Power – consumed all the time.
Sets the lower limit of optimization

Ton TNT (4.2GJ), eV (1.6 × 10−19 J), BTU (1055 J),
horsepower-hour (2.68 MJ), calorie (4.184 J)
• Power – Energy/Time – Watts (1 J/s), Horsepower
(746W), Ton of Refrigeration (12,000 Btu/h)
• Volt-Amps (for A/C) – same units as Watts, but not
same thing
• Charge – mAh (batteries) – need voltage to convert to
Energy

CMOS Dynamic Power
• P = C∆V Vddαf
Charging and discharging capacitors big factor
(C∆V Vdd) from Vdd to ground
α is activity factor, transitions per clock cycle
f is frequency
• α often approximated as 12, ∆V Vdd as V 2
dd leading to
P ≈ 12CV
2ddf
• Some pass-through loss (V momentarily shorted)

CMOS Dynamic Power Reduction
How can you reduce Dynamic Power?
• Reduce C – scaling
• Reduce Vdd – eventually hit transistor limit
• Reduce α (design level)
• Reduce f – makes processor slower

CMOS Static Power
• Leakage Current – bigger issue as scaling smaller.
Forecast at one point to be 20-50% of all chip power
before mitigations were taken.
• Various kinds of leakage (Substrate, Gate, etc)
• Linear with Voltage: Pstatic = IleakageVdd

Leakage Mitigation
• SOI – Silicon on Insulator (AMD, IBM but not Intel)
• High-k dielectric – instead of SO2 use some other
material for gate oxide (Hafnium)
• Transistor sizing – make only critical transistors fast;
non-critical can be made slower and less leakage prone
• Body-biasing
• Sleep transistors

Delay
• Td = CLVddµCox(WL )(Vdd−Vt)
• Simplifies to fMAX ∼ (Vdd−Vt)2Vdd
• If you lower f, you can lower Vdd

• Temperature and Heat Dissipation are closely related to
Power
• If thermal issues, need heatsinks, fans, cooling

Power Optimization
• Does not take into account time. Lowering power does
no good if it increases runtime.

Energy Optimization
• Lowering energy can affect time too, as parts can run
slower at lower voltages

Energy Delay – Watt/t*t
• Horowitz, Indermaur, Gonzalez (Low Power Electronics,
1994)
• Need to account for delay, so that lowering Energy does
not made delay (time) worse
• Voltage Scaling – in general scaling low makes transistors
slower
• Transistor Sizing – reduces Capacitance, also makes
transistors slower

• Technology Scaling – reduces V and power.
• Transition Reduction – better logic design, have fewer
transitions
Get rid of clocks? Asynchronous? Clock-gating?
• Example with inverse ED (higher better):Alpha 21064 SPEC=155 Power=30W SPEC*SPEC/W=800
PPC603 SPEC=80 Power=3W SPEC*SPEC/W=2100

Energy Delay Squared– E*t*t
• Martin, Nystrom, Penzes – Power Aware Computing,
2002
• Independent of Voltage in CMOS
• Et can be misleading
Ea=2Eb, ta=tB/2
Reduce voltage by half, Ea=Ea/4, ta=2ta, Ea=Eb/2,
ta=tb
• Can have arbitrary large number of delay terms in Energy
