A comprehensive evaluation of power delivery schemes for modern microprocessors

The continuous quest for energy-efficient computing has led towards the adoption of fine-grained controls in processor sub-systems, of which power delivery network is the most prominent one. Recent industry trends reflect a shift towards on-chip, integrated voltage regulator (IVRs) to that effect. W...
