Within-die process variation causes individual cores in a Chip Multiprocessor (CMP) to differ substantially in both static power consumed and maximum frequency supported. In this ...
Thermal hot spots and high temperature gradients degrade reliability and performance, and increase cooling costs and leakage power. In this paper, we explore the benefits of temper...

Heterogeneous multiprocessor system-on-chips (MPSoCs) which consist of cores with various power and performance characteristics can customize their configuration to achieve higher ...
Actions usually taken to prevent processors from overheating, such as decreasing the frequency or stopping the execution flow, also degrade performance. Multiprocessor systems, h...
