How does one increase the height of the rows in a LaTeX table?

Use package easytable

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[thinlines]{easytable}
\begin{document}

\begin{TAB}(r,1cm,2cm)[5pt]{|c|c|}{|c|c|c|}% (rows,min,max)[tabcolsep]{columns}{rows}
hi & tall one    \\
hi & medium one  \\
hi & standard one\\
\end{TAB}

[Tex/LaTex] How to specify the row height in LaTeX table

Try this:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\hline
hi & tall one\\[10ex]
\hline
hi & medium one\\[5ex]
\hline
hi & standard one\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

So you can specify the height of a row with the optional argument

You can use a \rule of zero width and the desired height; however, I would like to suggest you the use of the booktabs package to build your tables (this implies giving up on vertical rules, but the result is much better). Below an example with and without booktabs:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[htbp]
\caption{Some values}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{@{}*{6}{c}@{}}
\toprule
& \multicolumn{2}{c}{L2 Unit} & \multicolumn{3}{c}{SUB} \\ 
\cmidrule(r){2-3}\cmidrule(l){4-6} 
Unit & $E^{\text{Dyn}}_{\text{L2}}$ &  $P^{\text{SUP}}_{\text{L2}}$ 
  & Number & $E^{\text{Dyn}}_{\text{SUB}}$ & $P^{\text{SUP}}_{\text{SUB}}$ \\
Size & (unit) & (unit) & ($N$) &(unit) & (unit) \\
\cmidrule(r){1-1}\cmidrule(lr){2-2}\cmidrule(lr){3-3}
\cmidrule(lr){4-4}\cmidrule(lr){5-5}\cmidrule(l){6-6}
4MB & 0.289 & 1.39 & 2 & .005 & .006\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\begin{table}[htbp]
\caption{Some values}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c||c|c|c|}
\hline
& \multicolumn{2}{c||}{L2 Unit} &  \multicolumn{3}{c|}{SUB} \\ \cline{2-6} 
\rule{0pt}{14pt}Unit & $E^{\text{Dyn}}_{\text{L2}}$&  $P^{\text{SUP}}_{\text{L2}}$ &  Number  &$E^{\text{Dyn}}_{\text{SUB}}$ &$P^{\text{SUP}}_{\text{SUB}}$ \\
Size & (unit) & (unit) &  ($N$) &(unit) & (unit) \\\hline
4MB& 0.289& 1.39 &2 & .005 &.006\\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\end{document}
