Is dark silicon useful?: harnessing the four horsemen of the coming dark silicon apocalypse
Due to the breakdown of Dennardian scaling, the percentage of a silicon chip that can switch at full frequency is dropping exponentially with each process generation. This utiliza...

Assessing the performance limits of parallelized near-threshold computing
Supply voltage scaling has stagnated in recent technology nodes, leading to so-called “dark silicon.” In this paper, we investigate the limit of voltage scaling together with ...
