Achieving high performance under a peak temperature limit is a first-order concern for VLSI designers. This paper presents a new model of a thermally-managed system, where a stoch...
Thermal management of DRAM memory has become a critical issue for server systems. We have done, to our best knowledge, the first study of software thermal management for memory su...
Multi-core processors have become an integral part of mainstream high performance computer systems. In parallel, exponentially increasing power density and packaging costs have ne...
It is known that temperature gradients and thermal hotspots affect the reliability of microprocessors. Temperature is also an important constraint when maximizing the performance...
