Consider an embedded processor that has an area


Consider an embedded processor that has an area of 0.1 cm2. The processor accounts for 60% of the cost of the embedded system and 40% of the power of the embedded system. You come up with an innovation that reduces the area of the processor by 20%, but increases the processor's power dissipation by 30%. Would you adopt this innovation if the metric you were attempting to optimize was system power x cost? Assume a defect density of 0.4/cm2, an alpha of 4, and a wafer of diameter 30cm.
