Thermal gradients across the die are becoming increasingly prominent as we scale further down into the sub-nanometer regime. While temperature was never a primary concern, its non...
The relentless scaling of CMOS technology has provided a steady increase in processor performance for the past three decades. However, increased power densities (hence temperature...
