    摘要: A system and method for designing integrated circuits is disclosed. An embodiment comprises placing a standard cell with a first cell height into a cell row with a different height. The standard cell may have a height smaller than the cell row or else may have a height that is larger than the cell row. Vertical fillers and horizontal fillers are utilized to extend and connect the standard cell to adjacent cells without having to redesign the entire cell row.

    摘要: A system and method for reducing active power in processors is disclosed. A method embodiment comprises the steps of determining when a particular logic block is inactive, determining the powered state of the particular logic block, isolating the particular logic block from a main processor core, and powering off the particular logic block. When the system needs the particular logic block, the method further comprises reactivating the block. A system embodiment comprises software and a processor coupled to a clock control module, an isolation control module and a header/footer module, operable to isolate a particular logic block and power off a particular logic block, thereby reducing power. Another embodiment comprises a logic module coupled to a clock by a clock gating module, an isolation module for isolating the logic module, a header/footer module for disabling power to the logic module, and a power and clock gating control module for controlling the clock gating module and the header/footer module.
