In this work, we evaluate aggressive undervolting, i.e., voltage underscaling below the nominal level to reduce the energy consumption of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Usually, voltage guardbands are added by chip vendors to ensure the worst-case process and environmental scenarios. Through experimenting on several FPGA architectures, we con¿rm a large voltage guardband for several FPGA components, which in turn, delivers signi¿cant power savings. However, further undervolting below the voltage guardband may cause reliability issues as the result of the circuit delay increase, and faults might start to appear. We extensively characterize the behavior of these faults in terms of the rate, location, type, as well as sensitivity to...
