Abstract(in English) The emergence of mobile computing and mobile communication devices such as laptop computers, cellular phones, wireless modems, etc., drive the needs for low-power design of VLSI processors. Moreover, development of high-level methodologies for low-power design becomes important because of increasing complexities of VLSI processors. The use of multiple supply voltages is one efficient technique to obtain low-power implementations at reduced performance overheads. This paper presents an integer linear programming model for energy-consumption minimization using multiple supply voltages. Moreover, an efficient genetic algorithm is proposed based on a new crossover method using cutsets of a data-flow graph.
