A traditional fixed-function graphics accelerator has evolved into a programmable general-purpose graphics processing unit over the last few years. These powerful computing cores...
Recently, chip multiprocessors (CMPs) have arisen as the de facto design for modern high-performance processors, with increasing core counts. An important property of CMPs is that...
Technology scaling in integrated circuits has consistently provided dramatic performance improvements in modern microprocessors. However, increasing device counts and decreasing o...
With the recent advent of dynamically extensible software systems, in which software extensions may be dynamically loaded into the address space of a core application to augment i...
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...
