1.1 Introduction
Energy efficiency is definitely one of the major driving forces of current computer industry, which is moreover relevant from supercomputers and clouds to small portable personal electronics and sensors. A good picture of the current situation and trend is illustrated in Fig. ] through wireless networks to the cloud, which will accelerate these trends.

To better understand such trends, it is interesting to deeper analyse the root causes of the energy consumption of computing systems. To do that, we can refer to the example depicted in Fig. ]). Interestingly, the energy depends on the size of the manipulated data (i.e., the higher the bit-width, the higher the energy required to manipulate it), on the type of operations executed on given data (i.e., floating-point operations are more expensive than fixed-point or integer ones), and on the distance of the component where data are stored. It can be seen that every memory element has a certain energy cost and that the worst case is represented by an access to the external main memory (DRAM), for which the cost can be 3 orders-of-magnitude higher than arithmetic operations. It is also important to note that memory distance and data width will also impact performance, since the access and execution time increases with both distance and width.

Energy consumption is not only related to the processor architecture (e.g., ALU, Register File, Caches). Indeed, they are intrinsically linked to the technology used to implement computing devices composing systems. Todays computing devices are based on the CMOS technology that is subject to the famous Moores law predicting that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit has been almost doubled every two years. The main positive consequences for the users have been the amazing performance increase reached by computing devices, as well as the dramatic reduction of cost per transistor or the energy per operation. Nevertheless, even with the advantages of the technology shrinking, we are starting to reach the physical limits of CMOS technology. Among the multiple challenges arising from technology nodes lower than 10 nm, we can highlight the high leakage current (i.e., high static power consumption), reduced performance gain, complex manufacturing process leading to low yield, complex testing process, and the extreme cost of mask fabrication []. Fault-tolerant mechanisms are therefore required to ensure the correct behaviour of such device at the cost of extra area, power and timing overheads. Finally, process variations force the engineers to add extra guard bands (e.g., higher supply voltage or lower clock frequency than required under normal circumstances) to guarantee the correct functioning of manufactured devices.
