Voltage islands enable a core-level power optimization of ASIC / SoC designs by utilizing a unique supply voltage for each cluster of the design. Creating voltage islands in a chip design for optimizing the overall power consumption consists of generating voltage island partitions, assigning voltage levels and floorplanning. The generation of voltage island partitions and the voltage level assignment are performed simultaneously in a floorplanning context due to the physical constraints involved. This leads to a floorplanning formulation that differs from the conventional floorplanning for ASIC designs. Such a formulation of a physically aware voltage island partitioning and method for performing simultaneous voltage island partitioning, level assignment and floorplanning are described, as are the definition and the solution of floorplanning for voltage island based designs executed under area, power, timing and physical constraints. The physical planning of voltage islands includes: a) characterizing cell clusters in terms of voltages and power consumption values; b) providing a set of cell clusters that belong to a single voltage island Random Logic Macro (RLM); and c) assigning voltages for the voltage island RLMs, all within the context of generating a physically realizable floorplan for the design.

A method and system for digitally controlled multi-frequency clocking are provided. The method includes receiving a system reference oscillator clock frequency at a microprocessor including multiple cores. The system reference oscillator clock frequency provides a reference frequency to a local oscillator. The local oscillator supplies a core clock frequency to at least one of the cores. The method further includes adjusting the local oscillator to output the core clock frequency at a frequency greater than the system reference oscillator clock frequency as a function of digital frequency characteristic data associated with the core or cores. The method supports extendibility to larger systems and may support enhanced power management through frequency adjustments at the core level.

A reflection surface 12 constituted by a transition metal having a core level absorption edge in the vicinity of a wavelength of a soft X-ray is formed on an inside of a vacuum vessel 14, and furthermore, there is provided a permanent magnet 13 for generating a magnetic field in a perpendicular direction to a longitudinal direction of the vacuum vessel 14 in a position of the reflection surface 12 by which the soft X-ray is to be reflected, and the soft X-ray to be linearly polarized light incident on the vacuum vessel 14 is reflected at plural times over the reflection surface 12 in a position where the magnetic field is applied in such a manner that magnetic scattering is increased by a resonant effect of a magnetic circular dichroism when the soft X-ray is reflected by the reflection surface 12. Thus, a great difference in a refractive index is made between circularly polarized counterclockwise light and circularly polarized clockwise light which constitute the linearly polarized light, and a phase difference between the circularly polarized counterclockwise light and the circularly polarized clockwise light is obtained at a time. Consequently, it is possible to reversibly convert the soft X-ray from the linearly polarized light into the circularly polarized light or from the circularly polarized light into the linearly polarized light by a reflection to be carried out at only several times.
