Power-related issues have become important considerations in current generation microprocessor design. One of these issues is that of elevated on-chip temperatures. This has an ad...
We analyze the effect of thermal constraints on the performance and power of multi-core processors. We propose system-level power and thermal models, and derive expressions for (a...
