DIGITAL CIRCUITS SUBCOMMITTEE Processors continue to improve energy efficiency through an integration of on-die sensors, real-time adaptation and closed-loop software management. The three papers in this session exemplify techniques that demonstrate such improvements on large-scale processors. In commercial 7nm processors from MediaTek and Qualcomm, the authors demonstrate 13% power and 11% performance improvements, respectively. Dolphin Design and collaborators demonstrate an adaptive
