Muller noted that operating in the sub-threshold yields large power gains at the expense of performance but he rapidly moved to Near-Threshold Computing (NTC), a design space where the supply voltage tends to equal the threshold voltage of the transistors.

Power: a significant challenge in EDA design - EDN.com
24 May 2012, 5:21 am
Transistors have a gate-to-source threshold voltage below which the subthreshold current through the device decreases exponentially. As supply voltages decrease to reduce dynamic-power consumption, the threshold voltage also decreases, resulting in less ...

An Improved Test for Detecting Multiplicative Homeostatic Synaptic Scaling - Elites TV
18 May 2012, 11:48 am
Our new method circumvents the problem by discarding the potentially distorting subthreshold values after computational scaling. This new method should be useful in assessing the underlying neurophysiological nature of a homeostatic synaptic scaling ...
