From gate +‎ -er.

gater (plural gaters)

A mechanism that saves power in a circuit by removing the clock signal while the circuit is not in use.
- 2012, Rakesh Chadha, J. Bhasker, An ASIC Low Power Primer: Analysis, Techniques and Specification, page 118:
  Optimizing the selection of clock gaters based on activity is known as power-driven clock gating.
- Patrick Lee, Introduction to Low-Power Design in VLSIs (page 125)
  With more clock buffers instead of gaters in the clock distribution, the power is significantly reduced based on Table 4-4.
A component of a neural network that determines the probability that each member of a set of predictors will be selected.
- 2015, Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, Aaron Courville, chapter 12, in Deep Learning, page 438:
  In the same spirit, one can use a neural network called the gater to select which one out of several expert networks will be used to compute the output, given the current input.
