Power density continues to increase exponentially with each new technology generation, posing a major challenge for thermal management in modern processors. Much past work has exa...
Abstract. With more cores integrated into one single chip, the overall power consumption from the multiple concurrent running programs increases dramatically in a CMP processor whi...
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...
Reliability has become a significant challenge for system design in new process technologies. Higher integration levels dramatically increase power densities, which leads to high...
In deep submicron circuits, elevation in temperatures has brought new challenges in reliability, timing, performance, cooling costs and leakage power. Conventional thermal managem...
