Three-Dimensional Chip-Multiprocessor Run-Time Thermal Management
Three-dimensional integration has the potential to improve the communication latency and integration density of chip-level multiprocessors (CMPs). However, the stacked highpower density layers of 3-D CMPs increase the importance and difficulty of thermal management. In this paper, we investigate the 3-D CMP run-time thermal management problem and describe efficient management techniques. This paper makes the following main contributions: 1) It identifies and describes the critical concepts required for optimal thermal management, namely the methods by which heterogeneity in both workload power characteristics and processor core thermal characteristics should be exploited; and 2) it proposes an efficient proactive continuously engaged hardware and operating system thermal management technique governed by optimal thermal management polices. The proposed technique is evaluated using multiprogrammed and multithreaded benchmarks in an integrated power, performance, and temperature full-syst...
